Lawson Air Line Alfred Lawson was a visionary realizing the potential for commercial air travel. He built his first airliner at his factory in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1919. He flew cross country to Washington, D.C. to hopefully get backing from the government. He failed in that attempt but undeterred to went back to Wisconsin and built his second and even larger airliner. Unfortunately this plane crashed on its initial test flight. The Lawson Airplane Company ceased operations in 1922. Album by Barry Hepsley. 1 - 9 of 9 Total. 1769 Visits.
