Flying A Productions

Flying A Productions was a primarily western television production company founded in 1950 by singer and motion picture star Gene Autry. The company offered four syndicated and three network programs until all seven of its series had halted production by 1957 or moved to another studio. Autry also had a Flying A Pictures company for B movies. By 1960, Autry's business interests included the California Angels baseball team.

Autry's first television series, The Gene Autry Show, aired on CBS from 1950 to January 1956. The second Flying A (the "A" stood for Autry) Production, The Range Rider, was broadcast from 1951 to 1953; it starred Jock Mahoney and former child actor Dick Jones. In 1955, Jones obtained his second Flying A series which ran for forty-two episodes, Buffalo Bill, Jr., with Harry Cheshire and Nancy Gilbert, a fictional portrayal of a youthful Texas marshal and his younger sister, both named for but unrelated to William Frederick Cody and Calamity Jane.

Another Flying A Productions, Annie Oakley, which aired from 1954 to 1957, starred Gail Davis as the western sharpshooter Annie Oakley, with Brad Johnson and Jimmy Hawkins also in the cast. In 1955, The Billboard declared Annie Oakley the "Best Non-Network Western Series" and Davis as "Best Performer Appearing Regularly in a Non-Network Western Series."
