    How did Tidewater Petroleum Company come up with their "Flying A" logo?

    Question #89988. Asked by tjoebigham. (Dec 17 07 5:46 PM)

    		The flying A logo came from Associated Oil.

    In 1938, Tidewater merged with Associated Oil Co. from the west coast to form Tidewater Associated Oil Co. The merged company used Associated's Flying A brand, which was combined with Tidewater's Tydol brand in the East. "Associated" was dropped from the company name in 1956.
