Editor Reviews: Product Description: This movie is a treasure in uncovering the history of United Airlines. The movie begins with footage from the first air mail service between Washington and New York in 1918. President Wilson is seen officiating at this historic event. The air mail army pilots are seen consulting their maps for the inaugural air mail flight. The flight skips down the field and heads for New York. Loads of great early footage is shown along with film of night operations in the very early days. Night flying became safer with more lighted fields. Planes from National Air Transport are shown being readied and loaded with mail. The pilot crawls into the cockpit, parachute and all. The Ford tri-motor finds its place in history as a fourteen passenger transport that can carry people in "lounge chair comfort." The tri-motor is shown in flight and prepared for flight. The Boeing 80, the big tri-motor aircraft is shown in flight. In July 1931, National, Boeing, Varney and Pacific Air Transport merge to become United Air Lines. Next we see the United Boeing 247, the first all metal, low winged, twin engine transport. It is strange to see baggage being loaded into the nose of the airplane. Passengers are seen boarding a United Air Lines Boeing 247. It takes flight and cabin shots are shown. The DC-3 joins the United fleet. A nice segment on a DC-3 flying over the Golden Gate Bridge is shown along with passengers enjoying swivel chairs in flight. Night transports were equipped with beds. In 1947 the DC-6 enters service. Passengers are seen climbing stairs and entering the United DC-6 for takeoff. Great shots of the United DC-6 in flight are shown over puffy clouds, up close and over metropolitan areas. We see the DC-6 landing and operating at night. In 1954 the DC-7 comes on the scene and leads the way for United Air Lines. Lots of views of the United Air Lines DC-7 in operation. We see the huge United logo under the wings of the plane while it is flying. + Read more.... Related Products: Commercial Aviation Movies: Volume 2
