Allegheny Airlines

Founded in 1937, Allegheny Airlines started its life as All-American Airways. Like several other airlines, it began by carrying airmail for the United States Post Office. All-American started airmail service on March 12, 1939, using the single-engine Stinson Reliant aircraft serving several small communities in western Pennsylvania and the Ohio valley. On January 1, 1953, All-American officially became Allegheny Airlines, with 13 DC-3’s making up the fleet. Allegheny Airlines became USAir on October 28, 1979, later to be known as US Airways.

US Airways is currently operating under a single AOC with American Airlines. However it has been using the US code for its flights. This will all end on October 16-17 when it operates a ceremonial last flight (flight US1939, named after the year All American Aviation started operations).

The flights below came from the April ’53 timetable from www.timetableimages.com .

All these routes were flown by DC-3s at the time.
