摘要：In the late 1920s, French aviators began experimental flights linking Paris to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. In Brazil, the airline Latécoère received a license in 1925. In 1927, it began using a weekly route Recife-Pelotas, with stops in Maceió, Salvador, Caravelas, Vitória, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Paranaguá, Porto Alegre and Florianópolis. That same year, the company’s name was changed to Aéropostale and was the first to build airfields, called aéroplaces, on the Brazilian coast. Their pilots became myths because they have overcome deserts and crossed oceans carrying correspondence without delay. The pilots, heroes of the line, Mermoz and Saint-Exupéry have also stood out in Literature. Aviators or poets became unforgettable and they both lost their lives flying. This paper aims to research descriptions of unknown territories through reports of travel literature because like the “knights of modern times” everywhere they landed, their planes were admired and welcomed as friends. Our proposal seeks through the eyes of “other”, the European of the first half of the century, to highlight the look of these travelers.
