A National Airline for Cuba
During the wartime years of the 1940s, a growing
sense of national awareness developed in Cuba, as
in almost all the countries of Latin America. This
led to a gradual decline in Pan American’s control
over its Cuban associate, and by the 1950s, this had
ceased completely. On 1 February 1944, the name of
C.N.C.A. was changed to Compañía Cubana
de Aviación, and in March 1945 the first Douglas
DC-3s were acquired to replace the older equipment
(fig. 22).
