American Airlines, Inc. (AA or AAL) is a major American airline. It is the world’s largest airline when measured by fleet size, scheduled passengers carried, and revenue passenger mile. AA was started in 1930 via a union of more than eighty small airlines. This Zippo from 1965 is from the time that AA had a role in the development of the Douglas DC-10, which was the competition for Lockheed’s Tristar, making it a marvellous piece of history.
