NTSB Predecessor: A Brief History Of The Civil Aeronautics Board

The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) was founded in 1939 with the goal of serving as the regulator of commercial flights in the United States, as well as investigating accidents and crashes of civilian aircraft. These functions were previously held by the CAB's predecessor agencies, which included the Aeronautics Branch, the Bureau of Air Commerce and the Bureau of Air Mail. However, the various functions of the CAB were slowly transferred to different governmental agencies, and so it dissolved in 1985 following the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978.
