The FAA has issued the Aeronautical Information Manual under that title since 1995, and as the Airman’s Information Manual from 1967 or earlier, decades before Quantum Computer Services (AOL’s predecessor) was founded. I don’t know when ASA first published a book with “FAR/AIM” on the cover in large letters, but I suspect that this, too—a private reprinting of the AIM and selected Federal Aviation Regulations of interest to pilots—predates all things AOL.
