This dark blue winged emblem reads UNITED AIR LINES around a large 25th, with ANNIVERSARY and the dates 1926-1951 below. The dates mark a quarter century from the airline's earliest roots: on April 6, 1926, Varney Air Lines chief pilot Leon Cuddeback flew the first contract airmail flight from Boise, Idaho, to Pasco, Washington, in a Swallow biplane. Varney was one of the carriers brought together when United Air Lines was formed in 1931, and United still treats that April day as its birthday.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
