The company’s roots trace to a 1946 air transport organization created to carry food and supplies into war-damaged China. After the 1950 CIA purchase, it operated as Civil Air Transport before taking the Air America name in 1959. Its Southeast Asian operations included scheduled passenger service, cargo, resupply, and search-and-rescue flights. A distinctive keepsake for airline-history collectors and aviation enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAir 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis slim, all-metal bottle opener feels like the trusted tool you reach for when friends gather and stories start.
