First edition of this exceedingly scarce early promotional catalogue for the Chesapeake Aircraft Co., created and based out of Logan Field, Baltimore, MD by the early 1920's, and the pioneering passenger airline through the late Roaring 20's. As of the time of printing, the company had carried over 5000 passengers, and aircraft logged over 50,000 miles, with their offered destinations ranging from Baltimore to Miami, FL ($ 630), Dallast, TX ($ 795), Savannah, GA ($ 350), St. Louis, MO ($ 456), and even Birmingham, AL ($458). They offered one-way and round-trip tickets, contracted with Franklin Motor Car Co. for delivering passengers, and also offered Aerial tours to Washington, D.C., Harper's Ferry, Eastern Shore Tour, Gettysburg Battlefield Tour, and more. They flew primarily the Fairchild 71 which was an upgraded FC-2, but now a FC-2W built from 1928-1930, and also marketed their aircraft with the Chesapeake Aircraft Co.
