ARTIFACT:
This is an extremely rare circa 1934 pilot wing for General Air Lines, a temporary incarnation of Western Air Express (WAE). WAE had operated in its own right since 1925, and experienced a forced merger with Transcontinental five years later. In 1934 WAE broke free of this arrangement and changed its name to General Air Lines, but the name was only used for some months. After this brief stint, the airline reclaimed its original name, later becoming Western Air Lines (WAL), in 1941. The wing has fantastically detailed feathers and an "Indian Head" profile at is center.

Circa 1934.
SIZE:
Approximately 15/16" in height by 3-1/8" in width.
