THE HISTORY OF FLIGHT

From Kittyhawk to Columbia An exciting look at the history of flight. From the earliest days of the Wright Brothers up to and including the high-tech space age launchings of today. We begin with rare footage of the actual bike shop of the Wright Brothers and we include interviews with people who knew them from their housekeeper and an early employee who worked on the first motors, to the man who arranged their first interview with the military in 1908. The History of Flight traces the early development of aviation in Germany and France, and continues with the start of cross-country flights, speed tests, the National Air Races, and interviews with the giants of aviation. Among them: Eddie Rickenbacker, Igor Sikorsky and Chuck Yeager.

There is more...including Charles Lindbergh's historic trans-Atlantic flight, and finally man's ascent into the frontier of space. The History of Flight, a historically accurate and highly detailed video. A wealth of original footage that will be an outstanding addition to your aviation library of important works.
