100 Años de Aviacion en Compostela

The thorough historical research work titled 100 Anos De Aviacion en Compostela (formally published as 100 anos de aviación en Compostela), written by historian Xerardo Rodríguez Arias, provides a comprehensive journey through the history of Santiago de Compostela airport and the overall evolution of aviation in Galicia across a full century. This volume details the milestone events of the early 20th century, driven by civil groups such as the Liga de Amigos de Santiago and the Aero Club Compostela, making it an essential reference handbook for every commercial pilot, aviation historian, and regional infrastructure collector.

Furthermore, it analyzes the impact of the Spanish Civil War, subsequent commercial expansion in air transport, and key developments like the creation of the Air Sector Works Headquarters in Galicia (1945) and the 1953 passenger terminal built for the 1954 Holy Year.
