1940 Pennsylvania-Central Airlines (PCA) Route Map.
.
#RouteMaps #PennsylvaniaCentralAirlines #Maps #History #Aviation #Avgeek #Airplanes #dc3
Early American airline route map, showing the extent of operations of Pennsylvania-Central during the early 1940s. The main map image shows a series of air routes emanating from Pittsburg and going as far south as Birmingham and as far north as Sault Sainte Marie. The back of the map includes airline route "strip" maps that were so popular during this time. The map is emblazoned with illustrations of PCA's DC-3s. The map reflects an era in which niche carriers and short-haul prop flights were common. The map indicates a series of almost impossibly short nonstop flights, such as those between Pittsburg and Wheeling, or Wheeling and Clarksburg, cities that are less than 100 miles from one another. In North Carolina, the map indicates a direct flight from Rocky Mount to Raleigh, which are no more than 50 miles from one another, as the crow flies.
