Northwest Becomes Delta: Part Two

Although the challenge arrived in a private e-mail a few minutes ago, one Jetwhine reader demanded in no uncertain terms that a simple video about the death of an old airline to strengthen another is only part of the tale. What about the companies that came before Northwest I was asked?

OK, here’s the deal. I don’t know all of the companies that eventually evolved into the current Delta. So help me out. Any ideas from readers about some of those old airlines that grew into the Northwest we all knew before it morphed into Delta?

I remember North Central, Southern and Republic. Let me see if I can grab all the logos along the way as well? How far back can we go?
