From the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea

The entry of Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union on 1st January 2007 has created an unprecedented union of friendly countries stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea. Born in 1957 out of the chaos of World War 2, and re-vitalised after the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the European Union is triumph of diplomacy over war. This series of flights from the beaches of Portugal to the shores of the Black Sea is a celebration of 50 years of unprecedented peace in Europe.
