These few pages from this publication were supplied by Al Leak.  Al said he found it in his father's papers that he took with him when he left Aruba.  Nothing more is know about the publication.


THIS IS A BROCHURE THAT WAS DONE TO ATTRACT MEMBERS TO THE ARUBA FLYING CLUB.  THIS BROCHURE WAS SUBMITTED BY VIC LOPEZ.

THE PHOTO ABOVE COMES FROM A 1948 ARUBA ESSO NEWS


THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS ALSO FROM THE ARUBA ESSO NEWS, SEPTEMBER 24, 1955,     AND GIVES A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ARUBA FLYING CLUB.

Again, because of the layout of the center page information in the fold is lost when I try to scan the two sides of the page.  At the end I tried to put the two sides together but there is information that has been lost.

This is the two sides of the center fold put together, as you can see some of the information has been lost.


This is the July 31, 1953 Aruba Esso News that had the photo of Mary B. when she soloed, they youngest female to do so at the time.

The photo used in the Aruba Esso News, above is the same photo that was used in the Esso Air World at the beginning of this page.

The photograph below was cropped from the page above.
