AIR TRANSPORTATION ACCOUNTING.
During World War II the United States Office of Education authorized many of our leading universities to conduct intensive courses in connection with the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training Program. Air Transportation Management was one of the selected subjects. The students eligible to take this course were, for the most part, employees of various airlines who were selected by university registrars as most likely to benefit from a course of this type. Through this undertaking, our government endeavored to promote the usefulness of airline employees at a time when the airlines were handling numerous war contracts. Air transportation is carried out today through the operation of approximately fifteen major airlines. Yet this type of transportation is relatively small in comparison with transportation by land, or water. Airlines are subject to a greater degree of control than most private business corporations. The control lodged in the Civil Aeronautics Board over air carriers is similar in many respects to tile control vested in the Interstate Commerce Commission over railroads and other common carriers by land.
