Aeronca C3 - Chasing Lindbergh

Описание: When Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris Le Bourget on the evening of the 21st May 1927, he had just completed the most audacious flight in history. This film looks at the route and navigation of the flight, with a delightfully local twist for me. I also go some way to explain why Lindbergh is better remembered than Alcock and Brown. They were all magnificent airmen. Neil Armstrong described Alcock and Brown as 'the pioneers' and regarded them as setting the standard for all subsequent record breaking flights.
