#Onthisday in 1918 DDL (Det Danske Luftfartselskab A/S), or Danish Air Lines, was founded. The airline merged with other Scandinavian airlines to form SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) in 1951. SAS is now the flag carrier for Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Have you ever flown on SAS? Image: Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) postcard set, Douglas DC-6, 1950s. Gift of Thomas G.
