EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Savoia Marchetti S-55 Flying Boat, identified by its distinctive rounded hull and wing design, touches down in the waters of Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking the successful completion of a trans-Atlantic flight from Orbetello, Italy. The year was 1931, and the arrival of this Italian seaplane was a significant event, not only for the aviation community but also for the diplomatic relations between Italy and Brazil. The Italian Air Minister, General Italo Balbo, is seen standing confidently on the wing of the aircraft, greeting the Italian Ambassador and Brazilian officials who awaited them on a small boat. Balbo, an accomplished aviator, had led a squadron of S-55 Flying Boats on a daring trans-Atlantic flight from Italy to Brazil, a journey that took them across the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the South Atlantic Ocean. This daring flight, which began on May 19, 1931, was a testament to the capabilities of Italian aviation technology and the courage of its pilots. The Savoia Marchetti S-55 Flying Boat, also known as the "Flying Galleon," was a versatile and innovative aircraft that could take off and land on water, making it an ideal choice for long-range flights over water. Its arrival in Rio de Janeiro marked the beginning of a new era in aviation history and strengthened the diplomatic ties between Italy and Brazil. This photograph captures a moment in time that symbolizes the spirit of adventure, innovation, and international cooperation that characterized the early days of aviation.
