Cubana
was
founded in 1929 by the Curtiss Aviation group as Compania Nacional
Cubana de Aviacion Curtiss. The original route which opened the
following year was between Havana and Santiago de Cuba using a Ford
Tri-Motor. The Curtiss name was dropped in 1932 when Pan American bought
the company.
The Pan American shareholding was reduced to 52% in '45 and then
ultimately Pan American withdrew completely in July '53.
The
following flights
are
from the May '53 timetable, available from
www.timetableimages.com,
when Cubana used DC-3 and DC-4 aircraft.
They can be flown in both FS9 and FSX.
