Overview
Orville Wright's achievement of flying a powered aircraft for the first time in 1903 was the fulfillment of man's dream of taking to the skies. Narrated by Tom Baker, this fascinating film charts the rapid progress of the aeroplane from a contraption that could barely carry the weight of a man over a few hundred yards to a sleek machine capable of spanning the globe at supersonic speed.
