L'épopée des pionners de l'aviation dans les Caraïbes DVD cover.

TV documentary (2011)
aka : The Epic of the pioneers of aviation in the Caribbean

Starring:
Pierre Brouwers (Director/narrator)


Carrebean Islands are in the crossroad of north and south america and their tropical climate makes this chain of small territories some kind of paradise. But airplanes change the way to come in and ferry from one to another as we can count now hours instead of days. Neverless, their small size keep them from mass tourism especially for those with the most demanding airport.
