U. S. Airlines, a Common card
U. S. Airlines was one of the first scheduled cargo airlines to operate in the United States, certificated as an "all-cargo carrier" by the Civil Aeronautics Board in July 1949 in the same proceedings that awarded certificates to Flying Tiger Line and Slick Airways.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Flying Tiger and Slick were given transcontinental freight routes, U. S. Airlines was given north–south routes east of the Mississippi.
- The CAB picked U. S. Airlines over competitors in significant part because it was well capitalized.
- Harry Playford, then the president of the airline, was a former director of National Airlines.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The U. S. Airlines article was read about 1,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
