  1. Absolutely amazing film footage! Totally historic! Splendid post (as always!!!) Bryan!

  2. Staggering that aviation had advanced so far in just sixteen years since the Wright Brothers first powered flight in 1903. Historically not very long ago, but a totally different world to the one we live in now. Thank you.
