L'épopée des pionniers de l'aviation dans les Caraïbes
TV documentary (2011)
English title: 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.
