By far the most significant institutional change to occur in civil aviation during the 1950's was the creation of the Federal Aviation Agency. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 created an independent regulatory agency with a mandate to improve the safety of civil aviation, arbitrate disputes between civil and military aviation, and prevent the recurrence of catastrophic midair collisions that had shaken the public's confidence in commercial aviation.
