Introduce young aviation fans to Bowen Air Lines, a Fort Worth company that started flying in 1930. Its aircraft carried passengers and express packages between selected destinations linking Chicago and Brownsville, making this a lively story of early commercial flight. The airline began with five Lockheed Vega aircraft and later expanded its fleet. After more than four million miles in the air, Bowen ceased operations in 1936. This kids tee celebrates the people, planes, and routes behind a distinctive chapter of Texas airline history.
Bowen Air Lines was founded by Temple Bowen in Fort Worth, Texas, and began operations on 1 September 1930. It carried passengers and express packages to selected destinations between Chicago, Illinois, and Brownsville, Texas. The airline began with five Lockheed Vega aircraft and later added a Lockheed Sirius, two Lockheed Model 9 Orion aircraft, including the prototype, and two Vultee V-1 aircraft. Over its years of operation, Bowen Air Lines flew more than 4,000,000 miles and carried 45,000 passengers. The company ceased operations on 15 February 1936 after it was unable to obtain an airmail contract from the United States Post Office Department. Most of its assets were purchased by Braniff Airways; the Vultee aircraft were sold to American Airlines. Bowen Air Lines thus links early Texas aviation, the development of commercial passenger and express service, and the later transfer of aircraft and other assets to established carriers.
