Su vida pública y privada. Maria Sáenz Quesada no se limita a ofrecer solo un relato biográfico de esta mujer apasionada, sino que le da vida a la historia de nuestro país en sus primeros años.

1966 es el año del golpe que derroca a Illia y hiere de muerte a la democracia en la Argentina. Al mismo tiempo condensa las contradicciones de una época en la que, en medio de una ebullición cultural inédita y un cambiante clima de ideas, se presagia la violencia política que ensangrentará los años setenta. El clima de desdén cívico en que se gesta y produce el golpe militar que el 28 de junio de 1966 destituye al presidente Arturo Umberto Illia es apenas uno de los emergentes del acelerado deterioro que venía experimentando la relación de la sociedad argentina con la política en ...

American military aviation reached a low point after World War I, lagging behind its European counterparts and facing a peacetime battle for survival. To raise the public profile of aviation, military leaders encouraged their pilots to enter air shows and vie for speed, endurance, and altitude records.
