Mayflower
Airlines Stinson U NC12120
(c/n 9008)
Mayflower Airlines
was a small "commuter" airline (although that term wasn't used in those
days)
founded in July of 1937 providing
service from Boston to the resorts of Cape Cod and also to
Nantucket Island. The close up of the cockpit area
(below) gives an idea of the communities
served. NC12120 was an
ex-American Airlines aircraft and it is possible that it was Mayflower's
only aircraft. The line was acquired by
Northeast Airlines
in 1945. Clearly the old Stinson was
sold off, and it was the route
they were after.
