The 1926 Air Commerce Act was the first federal law regulating the certification and registration of all aircraft involved in interstate or foreign commerce. The 1938 Civil Aeronautics Act established the the Civil Aeronautics Authority (later changed to Civil Aeronautics Board) which assumed all regulatory authority under federal jurisdiction. After several midair crashes and the impending jet age, in 1958, the Federal Aviation Agency, the FAA, was born. It was first headed by an Air Force general, Elwood "Pete" Qusada. He and the FAA launched the drive for increased safety in the aviation industry. A quality control system was required for all manufacturers, and certificates were issued based on compliance with safety procedures and regulations. In 1967, Federal Aviation Association became a part of the Department of Transportation, and it was renamed the Federal Aviation Administration.
