Trans
Sierra Airways
by
Allan Lowson
Trans Sierra was a small feeder line
serving Porterville and Lake Tahoe from San Francisco in the late 1950s to 60s
using de Havilland Dove aircraft – and there is not
much more information available for them.
These
routes were taken from a timetable from the late 1950s which is displayed on www.timetableimages.com .
