The Flying Tiger Line
USA
*
|
This airline was formed in June 1945 as the National Skyway Freight Corporation by a group of former C-46 'Hump' flyers with General Claire Chennault's 'Flying Tigers' in China during WW2. Renamed The Flying Tiger Line in 1946, the airline concentrated wholly on freight operations, military charters as well as a scheduled U.S. transcontinental service opened in the late 1940s In 1969, the scheduled routes were augmented by the addition of a service across the Pacific.
A network of scheduled routes to Europe and the Middle East were added when another all-freight operator, Seaboard World Airlines, was taken over in October 1980. The Flying Tiger Line was itself taken over and merged into Federal Express in August 1989. |
