The company was created on July 13, 1925. In October 1930, it merged with Transcontinental Air Transport to become Transcontinental and Western Air (T&WA). In 1950, the company changed its name to become Trans World Airlines (TWA). From the mid-1940s to the early 1970s, TWA was one of only two American airlines to fly to Europe (the other being Pan American World Airways).
