UNITED HAS FLOWN 55 000 FLIGHTS ACROSS THE CONTINENT AND HUNDREDS OF FLIGHT United Air Lines’ Mainliners recently completed a record of 55,000 flights over the famous Main Line Airway between Pacific Coast cities and New York. First to blaze a direct transcontinental route from Seattle, Vancouver, B. C., and other coast ports, first to pio- neer air service from Seattle to San Diego, United has achieved an unmatched goal of 275 mil- lion miles’ flying experience. We’re looking ahead. Through an application recently filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board, United seeks authority to offer the Territory of Alaska the ad- vantages of Mainliner Service. If its application is granted, Anchorage, Yakutat, Juneau and Ketchikan will have through service to Seattle...thence south and eastward over United’s nationwide system. At s TO ALASKA Anchorage, United’s key east- west route would serve the net- work centering there from the West, South and North; at Juneau, the lines from the West and North. Today, United’s objective is to do its share in a tremendous war job. In addition to conduct- ing its Coast-to-Coast and Bor- der-to-Border domestic airmail- passenger-express services, United personnel, flying for the Air Transport Command, have operated hundreds of flights from the U. S. to Alaska. In postwar days, expanding Alaska and the West will need more and faster air transporta- tion. United is therefore look- ing to the future, preparing yet finer Mainliner service with which we hope to serve the Territory of Alaska.
