Publisher's Synopsis
Aviation Art & History presents the first monograph in the series "Flight Units and their Aircraft". In this work, we offer a detailed journey through the history of the Aviation Group No. 2 of the Chilean Air Force, accompanied by comprehensive illustrations of its aircraft over its 93 years of existence. This distinguished operational unit stands as one of the oldest within the Chilean Air Force, and its legacy is significant in the country's aviation history. Highlights in its history include pioneering exploration flights in the southern region of Chile, the historic first overflight of Chilean Antarctica in 1947, the momentous expedition to Easter Island in 1952, the memorable round-trip journey from the continent to Antarctica in 1955, and numerous other noteworthy events that establish this unit as an essential reference in the history of Chilean military aviators.
