Today, under President Jesus Rubio Paz, who started as a pilot in 1937, Iberia is beginning to expand into the transatlantic market. Last August the line inaugurated its first U.S.-Madrid flight with three nonstop Lockheed Super-Constellations, bought entirely with its own profits. Says President Paz, whose three new Super-Connies are named the Pinta, Niña, and Santa Maria, after Columbus' tiny fleet: "Our crossings will build a sort of aerial bridge, subtle and invisible, on the common ground of friendship...
