Pennsylvania
Airlines was established in November 1930 when Pittsburgh Aviation Industries
Corporation took over Clifford Balls 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.
