Lewis B. "Bud" Maytag Jr. Gallery

Mr. Maytag was the last of the dashing airline owners in the likes of Continental's Bob Six and Braniff's Harding Lawrence. He sold his controlling interest in Miami-based National Airlines to Pan Am who was in a bidding war with Frank Lorenzo's Texas Air Corporation and Eastern Airlines for control of National. I hope to add more photos and information on Mr. Maytag in the future. Many thanks to Nancy Neel who contributed her photos.

Mr. Maytag was born on August 5, 1926 and died in September 1990. His grandfather, Fredrick Lewis Maytag (1857 - 1937) started the Maytag Company. His father, Lewis B. Maytag, took over Maytag Company from his grandfather. Bud Maytag owned Frontier Airlines, based in Denver, and was President of Frontier from January 1959 to April 1962 when he bought National Airlines from George T. Baker.
