Celebrate a distinctive chapter of American airline history with an Allegheny Airlines ceramic ornament. The piece recalls a carrier with Pittsburgh roots, a Washington National headquarters era, and a route system that grew through the Lake Central and Mohawk mergers. From All American Aviation's 1939 mail service to the USAir name in 1979, Allegheny remains a favorite for collectors drawn to Vistaliner, Vistacruiser, Vistajet, and regional aviation heritage.
Allegheny Airlines operated as a Pittsburgh-based local service carrier from 1953 to 1979, serving routes primarily across the Eastern United States. Its roots reached back to All American Aviation Company, founded by Richard C. du Pont and Alexis Felix du Pont Jr., which began mail delivery on March 7, 1939. Renamed All American Airways in 1949 as it shifted to passenger service, the company moved its headquarters to Washington National Airport that year. It became Allegheny Airlines on January 1, 1953. Network growth brought Detroit, Boston, La Guardia, Norfolk, Toronto, and southern destinations, while the 1968 Lake Central Airlines merger added Chicago and St. Louis. The 1972 Mohawk Airlines merger added Montreal, Minneapolis, and many New York cities. Allegheny introduced Vistaliner turboprops, Vistacruiser Convair 580s, and Vistajet DC-9s. On October 28, 1979, it adopted the USAir name, later becoming US Airways. US Airways was acquired by American Airlines in 2013.
