We visited the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta and these pictures are a sampling from the Propeller Era.

1.  Welcome to the Delta Flight Museum.
2.  This is the first hanger for Delta, which is not part of the museum. 
3.  Delta started out as a crop dusting company and this is a crop duster airplane.
4.  A propeller engine with about 12 pistons.
5.  An early airplane which had a range of about 500 miles.
6.  A restored original Delta airplane.
7.  There are many display cases that have memorabilia depicting artifacts from the early years.

Albeit this phrase is from cigarette advertisement from almost 50 years ago,  "You've come a long way, baby," this is a reality in the the airline industry...except for the food service 😩.
