This color promotional film is about the Federal Express company. This is circa the mid= to late 1970s. It features some truly campy voice-over and music, but is a terrific document of the early years of one of America's great, innovative companies.<p><p>Opening: A Federal Express cardboard plane hangs from the ceiling by a string. A real Federal Express jet plane, tail N8FE, takes off down the runway (as it does, the title: "Plane People" floats by) and flies away (:06-1:06). This is a Dassault Cargo Falcon 20, a French jet aircraft that, on April 17, 1973, became the first to carry a Federal Express air package. This represented a new milestone in the history of air transport in the United States and created a new category of airline: the exclusive air express carrier. (This particular aircraft N8FE is now in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum). The original FEDEX fleet was a fleet<p>of 14 Falcon 20s out of Memphis International Airport – the only air freight company in the world with a fleet entirely made up of French aircraft. Many portions of the film were shot at the FEDEX facility in Memphis. (At the time the film was made, the fleet had expanded to 50 aircraft.)<p><p>Federal Express van.

Smith, a graduate of Yale Business School. He drew up the company's concept in a term paper at Yale. He began formal operations in 1973, when he moved operations to Memphis. Besides its location near the center of the country, Memphis International Airport almost always stayed open in inclement weather. The company grew rapidly, and by 1983 had a billion dollars in revenues, a rarity for a startup company that had never taken part in mergers or acquisitions in its first decade. It expanded to Europe and Asia in 1984. In 1988, it acquired one of its major competitors, Flying Tiger Line, creating the largest full-service cargo airline in the world. In 1994, Federal Express shortened its name to "FedEx" for marketing purposes, officially adopting a nickname that had been used for years.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
