THE GOLDEN AGE | Was the Sky Still the Limit in the 1950s? | NFB

Description: This short documentary celebrating a half-century of flight (the first human flight, powered by the Wright brothers, took place on 17 December 1903) examines the state of aviation in the late 1950s. The question, at that juncture, no longer was whether men could fly, but how fast and how far, and the film describes and reviews the top aircraft of the day: turbo-jets, stratocruisers, and missiles that outstrip the speed of sound. Part 3 of Salute to Flight, a 3-part film series about aviation. Directed by Richard Gilbert - 1959 Love aviation? What does flight look like—from bush planes to fighther jets. ✈️ Watch the full aviation film playlist now and explore every side of flight.→ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHerjfWGX0CXJgDV4zNB2EtH7j-xD_fT4 Watch more free films on NFB.ca → http://bit.ly/YThpNFB Subscribe to our newsletter → http://bit.ly/NFBnewsletter Follow us on Facebook → http://bit.ly/ytfbNFB Follow us on Instagram → http://bit.ly/2FdmRol Follow us on Twitter → http://bit.ly/yttwNFB Download our free iOS Apps → http://apple.co/2dbva4h Download our free Android Apps → http://bit.ly/2dbvHmO #Aviation #Aircraft #Jets #Airplanes #BushPilots #flying #MilitaryAviation #Flying #AviationDocumentary #pilots
