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.
