Lisbon–Macau Raid
text:
The Lisbon–Macau Raid was a 1924 air expedition by two Portuguese pilots, Sarmento de Beires and António Jacinto da Silva de Brito Pais. It was Beires' first major international flight, and it established him as a national hero in Portugal. It was intended to be a first step towards a future around-the-world flight, and a reminder of the great age of Portuguese maritime exploration. The successful journey covered 16,760 kilometers in 117 hours, 41 minutes of flight time.
