content
The film gives an insight into the early days of aviation . He also shows archival material from aircraft, which appeared for the first time at the beginning of the last century and which were equipped with many wings and looked a bit like cars with parasols. Airplanes and helicopters are shown that don't look the way we know them today, which also includes funny pictures. It is thought whether only our later understanding of aviation makes some ideas seem ridiculous. But there are also photos of modern airplanes from 1954. For technology enthusiasts, the documentation offers an interesting short excursion into the chronology of aviation .
