(image copyright Bjorn Larsson, www.timetableimages.com)

 

Pennsylvania Airlines was established in November 1930 when Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation took over Clifford Ball’s four-year-old contract airmail operation. It subsequently merged with Central Airlines to form Pennsylvania Central airlines in November 1936.

The times for these flights are taken from the September 1936 timetable available at the excellent www.timetableimages.com.
These services were provided using Boeing 247 aircraft.
