A journey through aviation history: From the early days of flight at Brooklands with Gordon England in a Bristol Aeroplane (1910s), to a young woman's exhilarating experience in a plane at Montferrand, France (1900s). Witness the Caledonia of Imperial Airways gracefully flying over Manhattan's skyscrapers in 1937, while a near-accident at Hendon Aerodrome in 1913 serves as a reminder of the risks involved. Fast forward to July 1940, where an aluminum pile-up, known as 'A Mound of Aluminium,' showcases the industrial side of aviation. The Heston Phoenix and a searchlight-illuminated bomber, along with the brilliant mind of Alexander Mikulin, continue to shape the future of flight.
