GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep introductions grounded in a storied name from American aviation. This Piedmont Airlines metal business card holder nods to the carrier founded from Winston-Salem's Piedmont Aviation and its rise from 1948 DC-3 service to a far-reaching jet network. It makes a distinctive desk companion for aviation professionals, collectors, and Charlotte-area history fans who appreciate the Piedmont chapter that continued through USAir and beyond.
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.
