The History of Flight: From Icarus to the End of the 20th Century (1997)

Never before has such a definitive history of flight been available on video. Using rare archive footage, narrator Richard Todd takes you on a fascinating journey through time. From the pioneering Wright brothers, through the heroic record-breaking attempts of Lindburgh, Amy Johnson and Amelia Earheart, to the exhilarating feats of the real Top Guns and their state of the art aircraft. From helicopters to Zepplins, from Tiger Moths to Concorde, its all here: the smallest, the biggest, the fastest and even the simply bizarre.
