Bring Air America’s distinctive place in aviation history to your next round. Founded in 1946 as an air transport organization, the company became Civil Air Transport following a 1950 CIA purchase and adopted the Air America name in 1959. Its aircraft supported passenger and cargo service, resupply, and humanitarian flights across Southeast Asia through 1975. For collectors, golfers, and aviation enthusiasts, this listing recalls a complex airline story that reached from Vientiane to the '75 Saigon evacuation.

Air America grew from an air transport organization founded in 1946 by aviator Claire Lee Chennault and diplomat Whiting Willauer to carry food and supplies into war-damaged China. First called Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration Air Transport, it was pressed into service during the Chinese civil war. In August 1950, the CIA bought the company and renamed it Civil Air Transport; in 1959, it adopted the Air America name. Its first two Air America transports arrived in Vientiane, Laos, on August 23, 1959. From 1959 to 1975, the airline supported operations across Southeast Asia, flying cargo, passengers, refugees, personnel, and humanitarian supplies in Laos, South Vietnam, and Cambodia, as well as operating from bases in Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan. Its varied fleet included fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and its work ranged from scheduled passenger service to resupply and search-and-rescue flights. In 1975, Air America helicopters took part in the evacuation of civilians from Saigon. After an attempted company presence in Udon Thani, Thailand, failed, Air America was dissolved on June 30, 1976. Air Asia, the subsidiary holding its assets, was later purchased by Evergreen International Airlines.
