Many other "firsts" were chalked up by Latin American aviators but were little noted by the international press at the time. In fact, aviation in Latin America progressed at a pace even more rapid than in other, more developed areas of the world."

This history brings to light the many innovations and inventions in the region that have impacted global politics, commerce, and communication."--BOOK JACKET.
