Explore the fascinating story of Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT), America's first coast-to-coast airline. Founded in 1928, TAT pioneered a revolutionary air-rail service that allowed passengers to travel from New York to Los Angeles in just 48 hours—an extraordinary feat for the time. Backed by aviation legend Charles Lindbergh and using the iconic Ford Tri-Motor planes, TAT merged the speed of flight with the reliability of overnight rail travel. Despite its short operational life, TAT laid the groundwork for modern air travel and eventually became part of Trans World Airlines (TWA). Join us as we dive into the history of this innovative airline, its impact on aviation, and how it transformed long-distance travel in the U.S.
