Bring a piece of airline history into your favorite room with this Allegheny Airlines tin candle. The Pittsburgh-rooted carrier flew local-service routes across the Eastern United States from 1953 until its 1979 transition to USAir, building a following around its Vistaliner, Vistacruiser, and Vistajet names. It is an easy conversation piece for collectors of aviation history, Pennsylvania heritage, and the long route from All American Aviation to US Airways.
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.
