Summary: The subject reference files of Revista Aérea Latinoamericana regarding aviation in Latin America during 1937-2003. Administrative Information Acquisition Information Elaine Asch-Root, gift, 2003, 2003-0028 Processing Information Where aircraft designations vary from those presented in the NASM Directory of Airplanes (Dana Bell, ed; London and Mechanicsburg (PA): Greenhill Books/Stackpole Books, 2002) as updated by the NASM Archives staff, terms have been added in square brackets [] to align the entry with the updated Directory designation. Some redesignated aircraft and some aircraft produced by multiple manufacturers may be found under both old and new designations or under multiple manufacturers. Also, in cases where a manufacturer's name has changed, the aircraft may be listed under both the old and new corporate name. An attempt has been made to cross-reference multiple entries using "see also," but researchers are cautioned such cross- referencing may not be complete. Entries marked "CR" under "Folder" are cross-references only rather than multiple entries.

Historical Note Revista Aérea Latinoamericana was created in 1937 as a Spanish-language version of the highly regarded US monthly Aero Digest aimed at the Latin American market. This region was seen as a rich potential market for export sales of aircraft, engines, and associated technology, and advertisers came to rely heavily on this publication to help promote their line in this lucrative market. When Aero Digest ceased publication in 1956 Colombian businessman Maximillian Garavito purchased Revista Aérea Latinoamericana and took over as editor and publisher. Upon his death in 1979 Elaine Asch- Root assumed control, dropping "Latinoamericana" from the title and expanding into the Spanish and Portugeuse markets. In 2010 Revista Aérea began publishing a Portugeuse language edition as well as a revamped on-line version. In addition to its original role of communicating the latest in aviation technology to potential buyers, the magazine also highlights aviation-related news and events in Latin America and promotes aviation education and humanitarian aviation operations. Scope and Content Note This collection consists of reference files from the Spanish-language monthly periodical Revista Aérea Latinoamericana. This collection is a virtual time-capsule of the evolution of aviation in Latin America over the 66-year period of publication, 1937-2003. The files include information on hardware and aircraft systems, as well as documentation on aeronautical educational enterprises in Latin America, aero clubs, sport aviation, military and naval aviation, indigenous manufacturing enterprises, and air transport. The material in the collection includes black-and-white and color photographs; color slides; domestic and foreign aerospace trade literature; speeches and lectures; news releases; and drawings.
