## Caption

100 years ago, a single DH-4 biplane lifted off from Chicago bound for St. Louis carrying just a bag of U.S. mail. That modest airmail flight, piloted under Robertson Aircraft Corporation, marked the first regularly scheduled flight that would evolve into American Airlines.
 
From carrying mail to carrying millions of passengers, a century of flight took off. Follow along each week as we journey back to a new decade and celebrate the moments, people and the innovation that shaped the past 100 years. #American100 #ForeverForward #Centennial
