Aviation pioneer T Claude Ryan started the first regular commercial passenger service from San Diego to Los Angeles in the 1920s. You may recognize the name Ryan. It was Ryan's company that built the "Spirit of St. Louis," the plane Charles Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris marking the first solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic.

Now, some of the memories associated with Ryan's company, Ryan Aeronautical, are preserved in a new website activated recently by the Port of San Diego in partnership with the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
