ARTIFACT:
This is a Rare Early World War II CAA Civil Aeronautics Administration Sanctioned United Flying School of America Disney Designed Jacket Patch Decal on Leather. The patch shows Donald Duck as a Flight Instructor pinning a stylized Pilot Wing onto the chest of one of his famous nephews Huey, Dewey, or Louie.
CAA: In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Act transferred federal responsibilities for non-military aviation from the Bureau of Air Commerce to a new, independent agency, the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The legislation also gave the authority the power to regulate airline fares and to determine the routes that air carriers would serve.
In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt split the authority into two agencies, the Civil Aeronautics Administration and a three-member Civil Aeronautics Board. The CAA was responsible for air traffic control, safety programs, and airway development.
