How would air travel have developed (at least in the US) if Pan American Airways either never existed or folded early on? Say Juan Trippe stayed on Wall Street or died in plane over the Caribbean? Would another company just step in or would civilian air travel development be delayed (say no transpacific service untill after WWII)?
