Celebrate Piedmont Airlines with a hoodie or sweatshirt rooted in the story of a true American carrier. From Thomas Henry Davis's Winston-Salem aviation business to scheduled DC-3 service, 727 jets, and international 767 flights from Charlotte to Gatwick, Piedmont left a wide contrail across airline history. This piece is for collectors, travelers, and anyone who remembers the name behind Charlotte's rise as a hub.
Piedmont Airlines grew from Piedmont Aviation, created in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1940 when Thomas Henry Davis purchased Camel City Flying Service. The business initially repaired aircraft and trained pilots before Davis sought authority for southeastern passenger service in 1944. Authorization arrived January 1, 1948, and Piedmont's first scheduled flight traveled from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Cincinnati on February 20, using a Douglas DC-3. The carrier expanded from its early southeastern routes into a broad eastern and national network, adding jets in 1967 and developing a major hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport after deregulation. Piedmont acquired Utica-based Empire Airlines in 1985, adding routes and Fokker F28 aircraft. By 1989 it had hubs in Baltimore, Charlotte, Dayton, and Syracuse, and operated Boeing 767-200ER service from Charlotte to London Gatwick. USAir, formerly Allegheny Airlines, absorbed Piedmont on August 5, 1989. Its Charlotte hub continued through US Airways and later American Airlines.
