162   imageU.S., All American Aviation/Airways Archive, Became Allegheny Airlines, 1939-1941, -- Flight cover accumulation & other items including unique Map of Pick Up Routes, photographs, press releases and more -- all from the Estate of David L. Miller -- the Aviation Pioneer who, according to the front page of the August 12, 1970 issue of "the Air Commuter", Miller "was instrumental in development of the early air mail pick-up techniques that gave birth to All American Aviation, but at the same time was a champion of the evolvement of the company into the more conventional passenger service business….He was an extremely forward looking man and formulated many programs that were ahead of their time and in many ways responsible for the growth of the company into Allegheny Airlines."
According to www.aerodacious.commemorative, All American Aviation was founded in 1937 by Richard C. and Alexis F. duPont. All American received three contracts to carry mail. The first contract was for two experimental air mail routes (AM-1001 and AM-1002), and was awarded to allow AAA to test the feasibility of feeder lines to serve the smaller communities where airport facilities or volume of mail were insufficient to justify full air mail service. It would radiate from terminal city hubs and would utilize the rugged Sinton Reliant aircraft. Equipped with a long take-up boom with a hook and a winch that operated through an opening in the fuselage, the Stinson would swoop down snatching the container of mail suspended on a rope between two poles. This nonstop airmail pickup and delivery system was invented by Lytle S. Adams, who sold his patent rights to AAA.
Experimental Route 1001 (from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia) was inaugurated in four stages on May 14, June 4, June 18 and July 2, 1939, and Experimental Route 1002 (from Pittsburgh to Huntington West Virginia) was inaugurated in four stages on May 12, May 28, June 11 and June 25, 1939.
The second contract AAA received was for AM-49, which was inaugurated in five parts:
Part A -- August 12, 1940, November 2, 1940, May 7, 1941, September 27, 1943
Part B - November 12, 1940, May 15, 1944, April 29, 1946
Part D - August 12, 1940, July 14, 1941
Part E - December 2, 1940
Part F -- August 12, 1940, July 14, 1941, September 29, 1941
The third and final contract AAA (now All American Airways; the company changed its name with the introduction of passenger service) received was for AM-97, which began scheduled flight service between Washington DC and Pittsburgh PA on March 7, 1949. AM-97 replaced AM-49.
On January 1, 1953, All American Airways officially changed its name to Allegheny Airlines.
