Whither Phoenix Newsletter, 1947
Scope and Content Note
The Rocky Nelson Collection contains a financial report, press releases, newspaper clippings, and scrapbooks dating from 1946 to 1951. These materials document the establishment of an intrastate airline called Arizona Airways, a campaign by that airline to gain route use permission from civil aeronautics authorities, and concurrent public debate over the utility of air feeder lines in general. This collection also documents a concerted effort to convert small, municipal airports and former Army Air Forces facilities in Arizona into commercial terminals.
