USAIG Celebrates Nine Decades in Aviation Insurance
The company, founded in 1928 by a pair of World War I aviators, has grown into one of the industry's leading underwriters.

With the turn of the calendar to 2018, USAIG is celebrating its 90th anniversary as an insurer to the aviation industry. The company was founded in 1928 by Reed Chambers and David Beebe, two former World War I aviators who saw the requirement for an insurance company that fully understood the needs of aviation. That July, they established the United States Aircraft Insurance Group, along with United States Aviation Underwriters (USAU), which remain intact nine decades later, generating the capacity to cover any size aviation or aerospace exposure.
