The early years at Braniff were just as colorful. This extrordinary airline was started in 1927 with two men and a dream. On this page, they plan to look back at the early days of Braniff, when Paul and Tom Braniff ushered in travel from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and later to South America. They look at Chuck Beard ushering in the jet age. They also cover the Harding Lawrence years thru 1989.
Some stories are good, some raise questions, all are interesting.
All information comes directly from Braniff employees, family, historians and original documents. We are a division of Braniff International Virtual Airlines. We fly to more of the Americas than any other airline.
