A residual of the company persisted in Arizona as a flight school and charter business, operating out of Gilpin Field in Tucson, Arizona for several years. The airline is notable for its ownership by Arizona pioneer and politician Isabella Greenway, and for its involvement with trans-border traffic during the days of Prohibition. ==History== Gilpin Air Lines emerged from the Depression-related failure of a California busline turned airline, Pickwick Airways, bought by Charles William “Bill” Gilpin in 1929. He had been one of Pickwick’s pilots, and the new outfit operated most of the same airplanes. Pickwick Airways was part of the San Francisco-based Pickwick Corporation, owner of the Pickwick Hotel. Gilpin, who learned to fly during the Great War, had been an associate of Mrs. Greenway, Arizona’s first Congresswoman and owner of far-flung business interests in the state. As the airline was increasingly unprofitable, Greenway invested in it and eventually became the owner, thus the G & G moniker. At the time of Greenway’s take-over, the airline had about thirty employees, of whom G. L. Slaybaugh was the general manager. Greenway used the airline much for personal and business travel, especially in her political campaigns in the thinly populated state. Gilpin often acted as her pilot. He had been chauffeur for Greenway’s deceased husband, and is recorded as flying numerous flights in the Southwest in the 1926-30 timespan, including in an aircraft of his own design and manufacture.〔http://www.dmairfield.org〕 Bill Gilpin was killed in a weather-related accident near Toluca, Mexico in July 1932, on a flight from San Diego to Mexico City. On 11 May 1933, Greenway appointed Elliott Roosevelt, the son of newly inaugurated President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to be the airline’s manager. He was 22 years old and had no significant flying experience. The job was a favor to Greenway’s close friend Eleanor Roosevelt. The new manager served only a few weeks before abandoning the job, but attracted considerable press attention to the struggling outfit. Despite Elliott Roosevelt’s requests, the airline did not obtain the air mail contracts that were then essential for profitability. After his departure and the end of Prohibition, Greenway became convinced of the small airline’s unviability, and she closed it down in January 1934. However, she asked her godson, Walter Douglas, Jr. to continue to operate a flight school business with the name.〔Hansen, pp.40-56〕 Greenway's ownership of the airline and familiarity with aviation was a reason she, as the only Democrat, broke publicly with family friend President Franklin D. Roosevelt over the Air Mail Scandal of 1934. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gilpin Airlines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
