When was the Civil Aeronautics Act enacted?

  1. 1926

  2. 1938

  3. 1978

  4. 1985

The correct answer is: 1938

The Civil Aeronautics Act, which established the Civil Aeronautics Authority, was enacted in 1938. Option A, 1926, is incorrect because in that year, the Air Commerce Act was enacted, which was a precursor to the Civil Aeronautics Act. Option C, 1978, is incorrect because in that year, the Civil Aeronautics Administration was replaced by the Federal Aviation Administration. Option D, 1985, is incorrect because by that time, the authority and responsibilities of the Civil Aeronautics Authority had been absorbed by the FAA. Therefore, option B, 1938, is the correct answer.
