The series consists of 12 parts. The history is well researched; the narration is to the point, informative, and fascinating like flying itself. The story starts with Wright brothers' achieving what was impossible throughout known human history. The documentary covers all aspects of flying from the fastest, to the dangerous, to the most comfortable of aircraft.

HYDERABAD: Hyderabad boasts a total of 66 buildings that are over 100m tall and fit into the skyscraper category. In addition to these, there are 90 others that are currently proposed or under construction. Among these, 35 buildings are expected to surpass 150 metres in height. The Kokapet and Puppalaguda areas are leading the charge, with a total of 18 proposed buildings between them. The Candeur Skyline, planned at Puppalaguda to reach a towering height of 234.9 meters, will be the jewel in the crown as the tallest building in South India. In fact, the city is likely to be the second tallest in the country after Mumbai in the next five years. Lyndon Brook as Flight Cadet (later Wing Commander) Johnny Sanderson, who also supplies linking narration [Note 1]Vertical Flight": This episode examines the history of vertical flight, beginning with the early helicopters, through the pivotal breakthrough of the Cierva Rotor-head, the helicopters of Igor Sikorsky (with a contemporary interview), and the two great periods of helicopter military lifesaving in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, featuring the recollections of several decorated veterans of the conflicts. The episode continues with further developments in helicopter aviation, as well as a range of vertical aircraft such as the early Kestrel and Harrier programs, discussed in detail by test pilot Bill Bedford and designer John Fozard. Later, although his flight commander has explicitly banned low level aerobatics (as two pilots have been killed trying just that), he is goaded into it by a disparaging remark by a civilian pilot. The wing tip of his bi-plane touches the ground during his flight and he crashes dramatically, and is clearly badly injured. The title music song, entitled "The Moment of Triumph", [3] was created by Roger Limb of the BBC Radiophonic workshop and performed by Rod Argent and Bob Howes. [6] Episodes [ edit ]

Rivals over the Atlantic": This episode charts the history of the race for transatlantic commercial aviation, particularly the development of the jet engine and role of the jet airliner, especially the Boeing 707, in long-distance air travel, and Europe's response in the form of the Concorde. In 1928, Douglas Bader joins the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a Flight Cadet. Despite a friendly reprimand from Air Vice-Marshal Halahan for his disregard for service discipline and flight rules, he successfully completes his training and is posted to No. 23 Squadron at RAF Kenley. In 1930, he is chosen to be among the pilots for an aerial exhibition. eleven winning projects include a special career mentoring and coaching programme for aspiring students and a series of flying and engineering taster days and workshops Mr Joyce, surgeon at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, has to amputate both legs to save Bader's life. During his convalescence, he receives encouragement from Nurse Brace. Upon his discharge from the hospital, he sets out to master prosthetic legs. Out for a drive with two other RAF pals, they stop at a tearoom, and here he meets waitress Thelma Edwards. Once he can walk on his own, he asks her out. Most of (1) p.........................
