dc.description.abstractFrom 1912 to 1938, the Amadora became the central location for several of Portugal's most significant aviation events. After a Kite-Flying Competition (1912), Flying Demonstrations (1913), and the 1st Air Festival in Portugal (1917), in 1919, the village became selected to host the Military Aviation Squadron GEAR - Grupo de Esquadrilhas de Aviação «República.» As WWI ended, Aviation shifted its vision to new dimensions of international civil transport. With their minds set on developing Portuguese Civil Aviation, the GEAR pilots started using military aircraft for civilian flight purposes. Thus, between 1920 and 1936, memorable and significant flights departed from Amadora to the most varied Portuguese territories worldwide; 1) Amadora – Madeira Flight Attempt (1920); 2) First Aerial Raid from Portugal to Macau (1924); 3) Amadora – Guinea (1925); 4) A Trailblazing Flight for Portuguese Overseas Commercial Air Route (1928); 5) Amadora – Portuguese India (1930); 6) Round trip Flight Amadora – Guinea – Angola (1930/31); 7) Aerial Journey from Portugal to East Timor, Macau, India, and Return (1934); and 8) Portuguese Empire Mission Amadora – Angola – Mozambique (1935/36). Furthermore, in 1934 and 1935, Amadora received the two firsts International Air Festivals in Portugal. Finally, after nearly Twenty-Five Years of Portuguese Aviation Events in Amadora, Military Aeronautics ended Amadora's connection to national aviation in 1938, thus dictating the end of the Portuguese Pioneer Flights. Organizational reasons, in addition to the smallness and deficiencies of the dirt runway track, determined the extinction of the Grupo de Aviação de Informação n.º 1 [as the GEAR was renamed], whose personnel and material would be later transferred to Tancos.pt_PT
