American Export Airlines was created in 1942 by the shipping company American Export Line; it was subsequently purchased by American Airlines in 1945 and served as the airline’s foreign division until it was purchased by Pan Am in Sept 1950. This series consists of records created and accumulated by American Overseas Airlines after it was acquired by the company in 1950, although it does contain some records created prior to the acquisition.
