Well done on the ID. I had done a quick search and found nearly every other letter of the alphabet attached to wings - but not this.

I bet that nowadays, no one would dare call their brand a 'flying A' :laughing7:

PS: Some history: In 1936, Associated Oil Company joined Tidewater Oil, to form the Tidewater Associated Oil Company – a nationwide firm. Associated’s trademark, flying wings attached to a letter ‘A’ for Associated, became the new company’s national marketing emblem. In 1966, Phillips 66 bought out the west coast stations and the east coast stations became Getty Oil Stations, bringing an end to the Flying A brand by 1970.
