Airline Reservations in 1945

Making an airline reservation these days is easy. They can either go to a travel agent and book a flight or they can go on sites like expedia.com and book a flight from the comfort of their own home. But in 1945, the technology we take for granted was still in its infancy, so airline reservations were done a lot more differently. Just looking at this picture makes one realize the amount of coordination required to schedule flights and make reservations, which was obviously quite staggering.
