The airline began as Turner Airlines, established in 1948, and started service under the Lake Central name in 1950. Based in Indianapolis, it grew its network to 39 airports by May 1968. Its unusual employee-ownership story and merger into Allegheny Airlines that July give this cap special appeal for airline-history fans and collectors of changing aviation identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLake Central Airlines was a scheduled local service carrier serving locations across the Midwestern and eastern United States from 1950 until its merger into Allegheny Airlines in 1968. Its predecessor, Turner Airlines, was founded in 1948 and based at Weir Cook Airport in Indianapolis, Indiana, now Indianapolis International Airport. In the 1950s, Lake Central's network extended from Chicago to Pittsburgh. It served 21 airports in August 1953 and 39 by May 1968. In February 1955, it became the first employee-owned scheduled airline in the history of the air transport industry: 162 employees, 65 percent of the workforce, purchased 97.5 percent of the outstanding stock. Its aircraft included Douglas DC-3s, Convair 340s and 580s, Beechcraft Bonanzas, and Nord 262s. DC-3 service ended in 1967, and by spring 1968 its fleet consisted of Convair 580 and Nord 262 turboprops. On March 5, 1967, Flight 527 crashed near Marseilles, Ohio, killing all 38 passengers and crew. Effective July 1, 1968, Lake Central was acquired by and merged into Allegheny Airlines. Allegheny became USAir in 1979, then US Airways in 1997; American Airlines acquired US Airways through a merger in 2015.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Unstructured 6-panel body for a relaxed, low-profile fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Permacurv® precurved visor with 4-row stitching and color-matched underbill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Self-fabric hideaway strap with antique brass buckle and grommet for adjustable fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% cotton construction (Green Camo variant 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sewn-in label and brand sticker on visor; adult sizing (not for ages 0–3)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap and clean spots off your hat.
