Early Italian aviation official, president (1948-64) of the Aero Club d'Italia, the pioneering Italian aviation organization founded in 1904, a close associate of Italo Balbo.T.L.S., 1p. 4to., Rome, Oct. 8, 1948 on Aero Club d'Italia letterhead to Louis E. Leverone, President of the National Aeronautic Association. In part: "...I have the privilege of notifying you, that you have been elected to full membership.... We trust that you will be pleased of such a membership...." The NAA, the oldest national aviation organization in the U.S., is roughly the American equivalent of the Aero Club d'Italia -- making this honorary membership from one president to another interesting and unusual. Drymounted, else very good.
