A bit of Delta’s history

The company’s history started in 1924, when it was incorporated as a crop dusting operation and called Huff Daland Dusters. The airline flew a Huff-Daland Duster, which was the first crop duster that helped to fight the infestation of cotton crops. The company was purchased by Collett E. Woolman and got a new name – Delta Air Service. In 1941, the company relocated its headquarters from Monroe, Louisiana, to the current location in Atlanta. Delta continued to grow, constantly adding new routes and acquiring other airlines.

Who founded Delta Airlines?

The company was founded by Collett Everman “C.E.” Woolman, an aviation pioneer, who led Delta Air Lines from the first global crop dusting company to become a leading American scheduled airline.

A native of Bloomington, Indiana, Mr. Woolman attended the University of Illinois and got a Bachelor degree in agricultural engineering. However, his real passion was aviation.

In 1925, C.E. Woolman became the vice-president and field manager of Huff Daland Dusters. With a fleet of 18 planes, the company became the largest privately-owned airline in the world.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Delta Airlines operates more than 15,000 daily flights to the network of over 325 destinations worldwide. The company’s team consists of over 80,000 people, serving more than 180 million passengers annually.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
