- This aricle is about the airline company and not about the comic strip company All-American Aviation Company.
All American Aviation Company was an airline company founded by du Pont family brothers Richard C. du Pont and Alexis Felix du Pont, Jr. in 1937 that pioneered an experimental airmail pickup service with routes radiating from a hub at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Actual service, however, did not commence until 1939. It was the forunner of today's US Airways.
From its hub in Pittsburgh, the airline served the Ohio River valley.
All American received a Civil Aeronautics Board certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for regular passenger, mail and express service. Concurrent with the introduction of passenger service, the company changed names in 1949 to became All American Airways.
The company was again renamed in 1952 to Allegheny Airlines.
