                                    Aeroposta Argentina was formed as far back as September 1927 when Marcel  Bouilloux-
                                    Lafont, a French industrialist with a transportation empire in South America acquired mail
                                    rights in Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina.    Early routes were flown by French registered
                                    Latecoeres from Buenos Aires to Natal in Brazil, whereupon mail was shipped to Dakar
                                    in French Equatorial Africa and thence on to Europe.  Over the years the airline expanded,
                                    and routes all the way to Rio Grande at the extreme south of Patagonia and also to Chile
                                    and Paraguay were established.  In 1946 Argentina airline routes were split into zonal areas
                                    and LV-ADD went to the northern zoned airline, ZONDA.  By 1949 Argentine nationalized
                                    the airlines and Aeropostal was absorbed into Aerolineas Argentinas.  LV-ADD, seen above
                                    in a Canadair picture just after its civlianization from a C-47A-30-DO, was originally delivered
                                    in 1946.    It was written off in sort sort of accident at General Pacheco Airport, BA in July
                                    1949 before it could be amalgamated into the AA fleet.
