                                        Municipal Airport in 1942.  C & S took delivery of six DC-3s in 1940, and started phasing out
                                        their Electras.   The Shreveport stop was introduced when the new schedule from Memphis to

                                        of its fleet for military duties, whilst at the same time performing valuable war work in the training of
                                        pilots, radio operators and mechanics.
