Front cover illustration depicts a Boeing B-377 Stratocruiser and the familiar American Airlines winged logo. Route map, list of ticket offices, and general flight information (pp. 6-22) - fine and clean. Further contents of portfolio: "Flight Log American Overseas Airlines" small oblong pamphlet, blue covers printed in white and red, AA logo on rear. Fine, unused. "Memo to: The Management of American Overseas Airlines" - a bifold sheet with pictorial cover, gummed at the edges (although this, too, is unused, the gummed edges have partially adheared and damaged this at its edges). One sheet of stationery with printed head (in blue, grey and red): "In Flight AA American Airlines" trifold, fine laid paper; printed envelope (similar logo in matching colors - this is torn and damaged, but not used). Color printed postcard, illustrated side depicts a young girl flying with her doll, verso, printed "AA In Flight, Route of the Flagships..." bilingual legends (T - 151B). Circular paper sticker, with central logo surrounded by white letters on red: "American Overseas Airlines" gummed verso (a luggage sticker? - unused). Finally, a card printed on recto only ("2 AOA - 12"): "For Your Information" - text advises that passengers can now send commercial radiograms from the Flagship, and can pay for same in any of six currencies. Portfolio slightly creased and rubbed at the edges, contents as described. American Overseas Airlines (AOA) operated between the United States and Europe between 1945 and 1950. American Airlines was interested in acquiring the former firm American Export Airlines since it wanted to break into the overseas market, which was, at that time - dominated by Pan American World Airways. The US CAB approved the acquisition of AEA by American Airlines on July 5, 1945. The La Guardia - Botwood - Shannon route was initially operated by Vought-Sikorsky flying boats using the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport. By 1948 the airline also served Prestwick, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Berlin, Keflavik, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki. AOA launched international landplane flights (as opposed to previous AEA seaplane service) on October 24, 1945, with DC-4 Flagship New England (N90904), on the route New York City (USA) to London via Boston, Gander (Newfoundland) and Shannon (Ireland).AOA was acquired by rival Pan American in 1950 -- a merger that required a Presidential order to overturn initial objections by the Civil Aeronautics Board. AOA was merged into what would become Pan American's Atlantic Division on September 25, 1950. This interesting portfolio must have been issued between 1945 and 1950, date is approximate.; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.
