Rare promotional brochure for Universal Air Line Systems, one of America's oldest airline passenger service.
Universal Air Lines Systems was formed by a group of investors and bankers from St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Chicago as the Continental Aviation Corporation in July 1928. An initial workforce of 25 was assembled and 5 Hamilton H-45 Metal Planes are purchased. On September 1, the company changed its name to Universal Aviation Corporation and the airline operating subsidiary becomes Universal Air Lines (UALS).
The first passenger service began on September 16, 1928. Fifteen days later, scheduled passenger-only service is inaugurated between Chicago and Cleveland.
