	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Economic History of Weather Forecasting
		Interest in upper air weather conditions grew rapidly after the turn of the century on account of two related events: the development of aviation and World War I. Safe use of aircraft depended on more precise knowledge of weather conditions (winds, storms, and visibility) between takeoff and landing locations.
		Even though aerological expenditures by the Weather Bureau in support of aviation rivaled funding for general weather services by the late 1930s, the Weather Bureau came under increasing criticism from aviation interests.
		Theoretical physicist turned meteorological researcher Wilhelm Bjerknes appealed to Norway's national interests in defense, in the development of commercial aviation, and in increased agricultural output to build a dense observation network, whose data helped yield a new paradigm for meteorology.

		In a move that would prove to be of great importance to the history of U.S. aviation, Smith convinced the aircraft manufacturer Donald Douglas to build a new aircraft with the roominess of the Condor and the speed and modernity of the DC-2.
		Compared to the DC-2, the DC-3 was a vastly superior aircraft and its introduction by American Airlines marked the beginning of a new era in passenger aviation.
		Smith's legacy was not only in management; he had pioneered the use of hot in-flight meals, flight attendants (called stewardesses at the time), effective discount programs for frequent flyers, aggressive advertising campaigns, improved passenger reservation systems, and better air traffic management systems—all in the 1930s.
