The Nature of Things

Man Aloft (9x10)

Data de estreia: Dez 19, 1968

This film looks, sometimes whimsically, at examples of old and modern flying machines. Bush planes, barnstormers, gliders and war planes are seen, and the program concludes with a look at the present and possible future at airports, supersize jets and passenger aircraft. Includes historic footage of man's early attempts to fly, and the explosion of the Graf Zeppelin.
