What was the first flights name?

If I understand your question, are you asking what was the first airline? It's an interesting discussion, often open to spirited debate. KLM, Royal Dutch Airlines love to claim that they're the world's oldest airline. It was formed in October of 1919. But in reality, the oldest airline, based upon its first formation was an airline called 'Chalks.' Chalks was based in Fort Lauderdale Florida and flew to the Bahamas. It first began in 1917, flying under the name of Red Arrow Flying Service. But in February of 1919, Following the war, the owner, 'Pappy Chalk' changed the name to chalks and began flying internationally between Miami and Bimini in the Bahamas Islands. But the claim to being the oldest, best, first, original has always been the source of bar room arguments (and sometimes fights). So KLM slightly changed their claim to now being the oldest airline still in operation with its original name. If you use those qualifiers, then KLM has every right to the claim of being the first. Funny how KLM never mention the fact they were also the first airline to transport escaping wanted Nazi officers and elite out of Europe to such exotic destinations as Argentina, Venezuela, etc, in order to help them avoid capture following the war. That distinction appears to have been forgotten.
