Add to SetSummary
Air travel cost more than train or bus transportation, but it was faster. One could fly from Cleveland to Detroit in just 100 minutes -- have your breakfast in Cleveland, spend the business day in Detroit, and be back in Cleveland for dinner, as this brochure colorfully explained it. The same trip took 3 hours and 50 minutes by railroad.
