Northwest Orient Airlines Mouse Pad
Add a little airline history to the daily desk routine with this Northwest Orient Airlines mouse pad. The design looks back to the airline’s 1947-1986 branding era, when its Great Circle route helped make Northwest a familiar name in trans-Pacific travel. Its history spans early mail service, northern transcontinental flying, and major connections through Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, Memphis, Seattle, Anchorage, and Tokyo. Made for collectors, aviation fans, and office-bound travelers.
Northwest Airlines began as Northwest Airways on September 1, 1926, founded by Colonel Lewis Brittin and originally based in Detroit, Michigan. Its early work centered on U.S. Post Office mail flying, with passenger service beginning in 1927 and international service to Winnipeg beginning in 1928. Renamed Northwest Airlines in 1934, it developed a northern transcontinental route linking Chicago, Minneapolis and Seattle. After World War II, its experience flying routes to Alaska helped establish a major trans-Pacific role. On July 15, 1947, it began direct U.S.-Japan service via its Great Circle route and adopted Northwest Orient Airlines branding from 1947 to 1986. Northwest merged with Minneapolis-St. Paul-based Republic Airlines on October 1, 1986, adding hubs at Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis-St. Paul. A strategic alliance with KLM began in 1993. Northwest and Delta Air Lines announced their merger in 2008; Delta retained its name and branding, ended use of the Northwest name for flights on January 31, 2010, and became the successor carrier.
