Faithfully re-created logo of once famous Eastern Airlines. Eastern was one of the "Big Four" domestic airlines created by the Spoils Conferences of 1930, and was headed by World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker in its early years. It had a near monopoly in air travel between New York and Florida from the 1930s until the 1950s and dominated this market for decades afterward. aircraft, boeing, airbus, mcdonnell douglas, klm, qantas, travel, freight, flight, airliner, jetliner, aviation, passenger, company, air france, airway, fuselage, transport, carrier, jetblue, pilot, wings, airport, widebody, 747, 737, 707
