100 Años Sobre Huesca

The comprehensive historical textbook 100 anos sobre Huesca commemorates the first centenary of aviation history in the city of Huesca, a milestone initiated in 1911 by local pioneer Gregorio Campaña, who became the third officially registered aviator in Spain after Benito Loygorri and the Infante of Orleans. However, the defining hallmark of this region lies in its deep-rooted dedication to unpowered flight and the legendary Monflorite Glider Flight School, a historical facility where generations of civil and military flyers completed their primary training in Spanish aeronautics.

Authored by Luis Ferreira Escartín, this textbook provides the first complete historical compilation of Monflorite, detailing its early development by young aviation enthusiasts prior to the Spanish Civil War up to its modern transition into the Huesca-Pirineos Airport. The narrative explores technical flight training, soaring techniques, and tactical operations within air navigation and general air transport.
