Leonard and Jack Rosen began their business career as street vendors in Baltimore. In 1957, using their earnings and high-interest loans, they purchased 103 square miles of mangrove swamps in the Florida Everglades with the intent to sell plots of lands to prospective homeowners in the Midwest and Northeastern United States. Selling swampland to wealthy northerners was and still is a common practice seen throughout the state of Florida with many examples being found up along the Treasure Coast. By the end of 1957, the community of Cape Coral was planned out and the Gulf American Land Corporation (GALC) was formed to develop the area. The Gulf American Land Corporation planned day trips for potential buyers using their own airlines, Gulf American Airlines. Using a fleet of five Douglas DC-3s, people were flown from Miami to Fort Myers’ Page Field, the closest airport in the area, and then bussed over to the residential development. From 1958, GALC began contracting business to Modern Air to fly hundreds of prospective customers from the Northeast and Midwest down to Miami, where they transferred between Modern Air’s Curtiss C-46s and Gulf American Airlines’ DC-3s en route to and from Fort Myers. These flights were part of GALC’s free sales pitch and the flights were free for all prospective customers, who were also served a free meal on board the aircraft on each leg of their trip. GALC’s business eventually accounted for 25% of Modern Air’s total business. Instead of borrowing from banks and lenders, the developers factored the sales contracts to pay for building the infrastructure. Plots were also oversold to protect themselves against buyers attempting to break out of any contractual agreements following a sudden change of mind and for potential defaulters. Canals were dug, streets paved, houses and businesses built and by 1963, the community had a population of 2,850 with 1,300 buildings completed or under construction. Between the 1950 and 1960s, the Gulf American Land Corporation was the largest sales company in the United States. On June 29, 1966, Modern Air became a wholly-owned subsidiary of GALC following the purchase of the airline’s entire stock for $807,000.
