Los invitamos a disfrutar de este nuevo encuentro con la historia aeronáutica, que no solo une la emoción, la técnica y la valentía de una brillante y decidida piloto que viajó a América del Sur desde su natal Francia para cumplir un sueño y también un desafío, en una época en que pocos eran los audaces que se atrevían a sortear por avión, una barrera de tal envergadura, como lo era la hermosa, imponente y atrevida Cordillera de los Andes, tan característica de ambas naciones trasandinas.

    Boletín Informativo Nº 11/2017 Del Instituto de Investigaciones Histórico Aeronáuticas de Chile Editorial Si consideramos que no se construye el presente sin mirar el pasado, entonces no podemos obviar el valor del rescate del patrimonio cultural como elemento esencial del bienestar general y como fuente de calidad de vida de los ciudadanos. Tal como lo hemos manifestado anteriormente, nuestra corporación durante estos 34 años de vida, ha hecho suya la sagrada labor de defender los valores y memoria de aquellos hombres que han entregado su trabajo en beneficio de la Patria, centrados no sólo en el interés institucional, sino que en el de la sociedad a la cual todos estamos llamados a servir. Durante este mes tuvimos activa participación en recordar y homenajear a “nuestros mártires”. En ello, reconocemos el trascendental y titánico legado de aquellos hombres que surcan o surcaron a diario nuestros cielos para generar una conectividad ganada a fuerza de sacrificios, y que en este Instituto agradecemos con esfuerzo, dedicación y prolijidad en la investigación para luego divulgarla por esta vía y otras, siempre con la única intención de procurar un mejor futuro para todos. Esta es nuestra humilde contribución para construir una Patria y un mundo mejor. La continuidad de la vida añade capítulos a la historia patria, es así que la asistencia a innumerables actividades culturales y sociales, el cumplimiento de nuestros derechos y deberes civiles en la reciente asistencia a las urnas para expresarnos sobre los destinos de la nación, y otras tantas tareas de investigación y difusión desarrolladas en este mes, dan cuenta de que minuto a minuto somos testigos de hechos que si no los registramos, estudiamos y difundimos debidamente, llegaremos en un futuro cercano a olvidar nuestro pasado y raíces, convirtiéndonos por esta vía en hombres y mujeres con almas y conciencias incompletas, lo que seguramente influirá para mal, nuestro actuar y proceder diario y futuro.

    Adrienne BOLLAND 2009

    UNE FEMMEFEMMEDEDE L’AIR Adrienne BOLLAND 2009 Début février 1990, un certain monsieur Loiseau, (cela débutait bien..) me confiait une mission digne du survol de la Cordillière des Andes : rechercher la biographie de l’ancienne aviatrice Adrienne Armande Pauline BOLLAND VINCHON et surtout rechercher ses descendants ! En effet, un lycée professionnel de POISSY, souhaitait baptiser ses locaux du nom de cette aviatrice et j’avais pour défit de tout trouver sur elle, afin ensuite d’organiser un baptême digne de ce nom dans les locaux du lycée et d’y faire venir les descendants de l’aviatrice ! Rien que ça … Nous étions en 1990, point d’Internet ! Je m’embarquais donc sur un « monoplan » et traversais les zones de turbulences qu’aurait certainement appréciées notre intrépide héroïne ! Avec pour seul passager mon petit bagage habituel de promenades tranquilles au travers des forêts généalogiques terrestres, il me fallut alors, survoler un autre monde, non exploré celui-là jusqu’à présent pour moi : celui des AVIONNEURS… L’horizon semblait boucher, des montagnes d’impossibilités à gauche, des plaines interdites à droite, il me fallut trouver un passage menant à ceux qui l’avaient connue et aimée, côtoyée au cours de sa vie trépidante et peut être éveillé en eux des souvenirs joyeux ou douloureux. Après une bonne vingtaine d’appels téléphoniques tous azimuts, je finis pourtant par trouver la piste me permettant d’atterrir là où j’aurais dû frapper en premier : la porte d’un immeuble cossu du 16è arrondissement où Adrienne BOLLAND avait vécu tant d’années et où, à tout jamais, ses ailes s’étaient brisées.

After a week of waiting for orders, the young pilots were tasked with delivering five new Corsairs to the island airstrip of Ulithi – a place that measured but a mile long and a half-mile across on the map. After they had delivered the planes, the eager young pilots found a landing craft tied to a pier. They got it started and headed out into the anchorage where about 100 ships were sitting in the lagoon. They had no flight orders and they were eager to get into the war. “All I ever wanted to do was fly,” Stan would say years later of the unorthodox manner in which he and his pals entered the war.
