Note regarding submissions: I'd be very glad to add any
photos, histories, etc. you might want to contribute to
this site. When emailing them to me, please be sure to
add the Person ID (it's displayed with a "I") so
I can be sure to link to the right individuals. And it
is possible to connect a photo or document to multiple
individuals.
LATEST UPDATE: November 10, 2008 - new web host location!
The new location allows for more room for the site to expand, as well as some other little bonuses.
If you would like to contribute your Braniff research to this site, I now have the room to allow for users to upload GEDCOMs and photos. If you've previously signed up for an user account, you will need to re-register.
I'm still in the process of connecting cities &
towns to the Google Maps (a time-intensive project).

Alberto Braniff first flight
Image of newspaper heading
On January 8, 1919, Alberto Braniff made the first flight in 19 seconds in a Voisin Airplane, using as a runway or airstrip the Balbuena Plains in Mexico City which were leveled and prepared by a battalion of sapper men and who took almost two months in filling the holes and leveling the grounds for Mr. Braniff’s amazing first flight. The plane was a biplane "Voisin", with an 50 H.P. E.N.V engine. Alberto Braniff was the first mexican pilot and achieved the first flight in South America.
Every January 8, the air family in Mexico celebrate the anniversary of this historical flight.
