Scadta

[b377]

It would be interesting to hear from anyone ripe enough, probably with Teutonic connections , that travelled or indeed worked on SCADTA and/or SACO airlines or are aware of their history. These airlines of course merged to form Avianca during WWII period.

Hi, I have been researching in the Scadta and Arco-airlines themes for a couple of years based on original fotoalbums and diary of a former SCADTA pilot, correspondence of an former employee of Scadta´s cientific department, some of the original flying manuals of the various Scadta routes (all in German language only) etc and a few travel reports of former Scadta and Arco passengers. So if you are interested please contact me.
