Happy New Year, my reading friend. Our first 2018 story is a heart warming endeavour that began in 1929. With your permission, yours truly would like to use a source other than a magazine found on the mobile stacks of the amazing library of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Welcome back, my reading friend. Do you remember what this text is all about? The nearly all metal Rohrbach Ro VIII Roland? Heywood “Woody” Allen? No? No matter. You can read Parts 1 and 2 of this article later on. For now, let us proceed. The Madrid-Barcelona and Barcelona-Madrid flights of December 1927, organised by Iberia, Compañía Aérea de Transportes Sociedad anónima and mentioned in the first part of this article, so impressed a group of people that they decided to keep their memory alive
