HISTORY OF UNITED AIRLINES & DETROIT
 
UNITED AIRLINES
 
United Airlines traces its roots to Varney Air Lines (VAL), which Walter Varney founded in 1926 in Boise, Idaho. Continental Airlines is the successor to Speed Lanes, which Varney had founded by 1932 and whose name changed to Varney Speed Lines in 1934. VAL flew the first privately contracted air mail flight in the U.S. on April 6, 1926.
 
After World War II, United gained from a boom in customer demand for air travel, with its revenue per passenger-miles jumping five-fold in the 1950s, and continued growth occurring through the next two decades. From 1953 until 1970 United offered "men only" flights which forbade children and women (with the exception of two female flight attendants per flight). The airline allowed passengers to smoke and offered complementary cigars as well as drinks, and a steak dinner.
 
In 1954, United Airlines became the first airline to purchase modern flight simulators which had visual, sound, and motion cues for training pilots. Purchased for US $3 million (1954) from Curtiss-Wright, these were the first of today's modern flight simulators for training of commercial passenger aircraft pilots.
 
United merged with Capital Airlines in 1961, which helped United to regain its position as the "number one airline" in the U.S. In 1968, United Airlines became a subsidiary of the UAL Corporation. United experienced several periods of labor unrest during the 1970s, and the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 forced United to scale down its operations to remain profitable.
 
In 1982, United became the first carrier to operate the Boeing 767, taking its first delivery of 767-200s on August 19.
 
The aftermath of the Gulf War and increased competition from low-cost carriers led to losses in 1991 and 1992. In 1994, the carrier became the largest employee-owned corporation in the world. United also launched low-cost subsidiary Shuttle by United in 1994, which was a high frequency, west coast-based carrier that remained in operation until 2001.
 
DETROIT – MOTOR CITY
 
Detroit is the seat of Wayne County, southeastern Michigan, U.S. It is located on the Detroit River (connecting Lakes Erie and St. Clair) opposite Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1701 by a French trader, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who built a fort on the river and named it Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit in honor of his patron. Later, the British called it simply Detroit. In the 20th century, the city’s name became synonymous with the American automotive industry.
 
Detroit became the Motor City in large part because of a farmer's son named Henry Ford. In 1896, Ford built his first car in Detroit, and he would later develop the moving assembly line that revolutionized automobile manufacturing.
 
During the early part of the 20th century, dozens of companies came to the Detroit area and found success in the automotive industry. During World War II, the factories built to produce cars were transformed into weapons manufacturers for the Allied Powers.
 
Ironically, it was a former autoworker that led the way for Detroit's other famous 20th century contribution - Motown. Founded by Berry Gordy Jr. with an $800 family loan, the upstart record company introduced the world to Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Smokie Robinson, Michael Jackson, the Temptations, Diana Ross and others - all of whom either grew up or gained their first fame in Detroit.
 
At the start of the 21st century, metro Detroit began to reap the rewards of decades of work put into revitalization.
