The next 2 questions are based upon schedules in 1981.

12. This airline offered the only nonstop between Houston and Cincinnati

13. These two airlines provided the only nonstop flights between Milwaukee and Kansas City
Somehow I missed noticing question 7 -- of course it's here in New Orleans -- MSY -- Moisant Stock Yards, named after John Moisant, who crashed in 1910 in the area that became MSY. Interestingly he designed, built and flew the first metal (aluminum) airplane in 1909.

12: My 4/82 OAG showed a DL nonstop, and my 6/79 shows AA, so I correct my earlier answer to try AA.

13: I'll try Braniff and United.
