Lawson Air Line

The Lawson Airplane Company was founded by former Major League Baseball player Alfred Lawson. In 1919 and 1920, the company designed and built the first two US transports, the Lawson L-1 \ Lawson L-2 in an effort to establish a commercial airline after the war. The last airplane it attempted to build was the Lawson L-4, super airliner, a 56-seat, six engine large biplane. In the process Lawson introduced weather-proof cockpits, dual pilot control, passenger cabins with a centre aisle and proposed the first nationwide commercial passenger service
