One of our repeat guests -- an 80-something year old Arizona sweetheart
who has helped immensely with my task of writing a "History of the Iowa
City Airport" -- casually mentioned today that she remembers Mid-Continent
Air Lines flying into Iowa City when she was growing up. (Her family
owned the land just north of the airport -- where the Inn sits today.)

I probably did the same Google searches you did and I didn't find anything
about Iowa City as being one of Mid-Continent's stops.

I found this but it doesn't mention Iowa City.

"In 1950, the CAB awarded Mid-Continent the hotly contested North Central
routes, consisting mainly of Route 106 between Sioux City and Chicago. That
same year. Mid-Continent also inaugurated service with new 40-passenger
Convair 240's. At the time of the merger with Braniff in 1952, Mid-Continent
was operating a fleet of 23 Douglas DC-3's and four Convair 240's over its
6,241 miles of routes, serving, 35 cities from Minneapolis/St. Paul and the
Dakotas on the north to the southern termini of Houston and New Orleans."
