The
History of Continental
This collection of highlights from
Continental Airlines' 75-year history looks at the key events that have shaped
the company. That history began with entrepreneurial zeal and really took off
in the middle years of the last century as a tiny regional airline transformed
itself, first, into a national carrier, and then, into an international airline.
But if you like drama, upsets, and the unexpected, you'll find them all in this
history — as Continental several times was on the edge of going out of business
before transforming itself, eventually, into one of the best — and most stable
— carriers on the planet. It's a story that brings back a lifetime of aviation
memories.
