Artifact Overview

North Central Airlines was founded in Clintonville, Wisconsin, in 1944 but was headquartered in Minneapolis for most of its existence. As its name suggests, the airline served cities in the north central part of the U.S. including Minneapolis, Denver, Chicago, and Detroit. The company's mascot, Herman the duck, featured prominently in its logo. North Central merged with Southern Airways in 1979 to form Republic Airlines.
