Air America was the largest of the CIA's secret airlines. Air
America was one of the world's most extraordinary ailines. It was
run by the CIA, operated secret missions, publicly flew scheduled
routes, and, at its peak, Air America had the largest commercial
fleet in the world! The airline emerged from China after World War
II, had close ties to the famous Flying Tigers, Claire Chennault,
other airlines, and foreign governments. But was it really an
airline, or just a military cargo division? Air America operated a
wide variety of helicopters and other aircraft. They did
maintenance for foreign military, other competing airlines,
American military, and had the largest facilities in Asia - in
fact, the American government denied that they even existed! But
they did exist, and a magnificent job was done by them. Revealed
here, for the first time, is some of the flight equipment that was
used on some of these secret missions. They invented aerial
resupply - even before the Berlin Airlift. Finally, they did most
of the evacuation from falling Saigon in 1975. Unsung, unheralded,
but always brave, courageous, and dedicated, they lived up to, and
often died, with Air America's motto of Anything, Anywhere, Anytime
- Professionally.
