Today, 13 July '11, TCM will be showing the above titled movie made in 1936. It is the history of the attempts to conquer the air. The principle star is Sir Lawrence Olivier. Should be of interest to most of the forum members. The time for showing is 2PM EDT, 1 PM CDT.

Taped an earlier showing - a nice early history of aviation.

I saw it, too. So many of those good, old British aircraft manufacturer names have gotten scrunched into British Aerospace. We've been doing that here, too. Follow Douglas, McDonnell, and McDonnell-Douglas into Boeing; also Lockheed and Martin, and Northrup and Grumman into their respective lashups. I guess that's progress in a corporate world.
