Last week PHKCCI was honored to attend and support the book launch of "O Sonho de Voar: A voar nas memórias de uma Viagem Pioneira" (The Dream of Flying: Flying through the Memories of a Pioneering Journey), a tribute to the aviators Brito Pais, Sarmento de Beires, and Manuel Gouveia. This event marks the Centenary of the historic first flight from Portugal to Macau, a remarkable journey that showcased innovation, resilience, and leadership, undertaken by these courageous men. Congratulations to the author, Joaquim Falcão de Lima, for preserving this extraordinary legacy. It was a privilege to be part of this event at the Air Museum.
