The Airway to Everywhere A History of All American Aviation 1937-1953
Author: W. David Lewis, William F. Trimble
This book chronicles the history of All American Aviation of western Pennsylvania, a commercial airline pioneer. The brainchild of self-styled inventor Dr. Lytle S.

In that vein, All American Aviation would become Allegheny Airlines, and later, U.S. Air.
