- This source gave an overview of how early airlines began and how they expanded and grew. The first airline was established 11 years after the first flight by the Wright Brothers, and many of the early airlines were for mail delivery. This source is from the Smithsonian NASM, a historically credible source. I can use the information from this source in explaining how airlines grew and what early airlines consisted of.

- This source was purely for comparison, to find the travel time by train from San Francisco to Chicago, which is approximately 52 hours. Credibility isn’t really applicable to the information that I used, it was just estimated information. I can use this information to compare travel times between trains and airplanes.

- This source too has a good perspective and information on how the airplane changed the world. The economy was expanded, goods were traded easier, and transportation was easier and faster. This is a paper written by a student that was published online, but I am finding the information elsewhere. I gained information from this paper that I can use in my final paper, again describing how the airplane changed the world.
- Martin W. Sandler. Airplanes at Work. n.p., Oxford University Press, 2004. eLibrary. Web. 04 Feb 2010.
- This source gave information about how airplanes were, and are used.What they were used for back then, and now. For example, the first airlines were mainly for mail purposes, one was run by the US Postal Service, then traded off to a private company. This is published by Oxford University, a respected university. I can use this to explain how airplanes were used, and how they are used now.

- This source also had information on how the airplane changed the world, and the difficulties that airlines and airplanes faced in their early days. Many of the first airlines failed not long after they were established, because there wasn’t enough support and capital. This is published by Oxford University, a respected university. I can use this to describe challenges airplanes and airlines had when they were first established.

- This source gave me information on how airplanes were used for military purposes, especially during World War II. They inspired the bomber, and were used for attacking beyond enemy lines. This information is found elsewhere, so it is likely to be credible. I can use this as information for the world-changing aspects of airplanes.
