Franklin would marvel at air travel and jet speed today
In an October 1904 reminiscence, The Renwick Times notes Benjamin Franklin regretting slow travel and imagines how jet airliners would have let him traverse continents with ease. It contrasts his long Paris to home voyage in 1785 with modern shortcuts, citing a proposed four cent per mile air fare and Pan American World Airways as the era’s frontier.
