Flights of Courage
- BOX SET 3 VHS
During WWI and the 1920s, a group of young daredevils
gave early aviation a romantic image. They were heroic,
larger-than-life personalities, famous for their death-defying
feats. Out of their ranks came Manfred von Richthofen,
"The Red Baron," who downed 80 Allied planes.
A lanky 25-year-old named Charles Lindbergh flew solo
from New York to Paris in 1927. And another group
of Americans changed cross-country flights forever,
flying for the newly created U.S. Air Mail Service.
These are their stories. Approx. 3 hours on 3 VHS
cassettes. |
