THE STORY
Bee Wee, the airline of the West Indies
BWIA linked the islands to London, New York and Toronto for sixty-seven years, and everyone in the Caribbean called it Bee Wee. Its last livery put a steelpan on the tail. It flew its final service on the last day of 2006. Our BWIA designs draw on the Bee Wee years — the marks crews wore between Piarco and the world.
Every garment is printed when you order it, in the USA, with the disclaimer on the label: an independent tribute, for the people who remember.
Flew for BWIA? Worked Piarco? Still call it Bee Wee?
