UAL
United Airlines (UAL) has a complicated history, but can trace its roots
back to Aviation Enterprises, founded in 1944 and later called Texas
International. The first use of the “United” name in the company’s
history was when airplane pioneer William Boeing merged his Boeing Air
Transport with Pratt & Whitney to form the United Aircraft and
Transport Corporation (UATC) in 1929. The Air Mail Act of 1934 required
that UATC be broken up into United Aircraft (which became United
Technologies), the Boeing Aircraft Company and United Air Lines.
