Abstract:

The approaching introduction of jet airliners and a series of midair collisions spurred passage of the Federal Aviation Act on August 23, 1958. Taking a comprehensive approach to the federal role in fostering and regulating civil aeronautics and air commerce, the new law repealed the Air Commerce Act of 1926, the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, the Airways Modernization Act of 1957, and those portions of various presidential plans dealing with civil aviation. The legislation assigned the functions exercised under these repealed laws to two independent agencies — a new Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and a Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB).
