-
Summer, 1941 - Paris has fallen to the Nazi blitzkrieg, Field Marshall Irwin
Rommel is swiftly advancing on British forces in North Africa, and England
is in dire need of ammunition, aircraft, and aviation parts. In London,

American Clipper bound for America, Trippe is summoned to Number 10 Downing
Street for a face-to-face meeting with Prime Minister Winston Churchill...
- THE GREAT PATENT WAR [Development]
-
Contrary to popular belief, the summer
of 2008 marked the true completion of the first century of flight. Surely,
Wilbur and Orville Wright made their historic first flight in 1903, but
their fear of revealing the secrets of their innovative ‘flying machine’
made them loath to stage public exhibitions. America would have to wait
another five years to witness the spectacle of heavier-than-air flight in a
man-made flying machine.

-

regional cultures and landscapes via the unique use of flying boats.
Yes, the romantic age of marine aviation is back as your host
Johanna Hoecker takes you on 'safari' to some of the
most interesting places in the world.

IN THE
BLINK OF AN EYE [Development]
"Stand by for one minute before sending as I am having trouble with rain
static" is the last transmission ever received from the Martin M-130 "flying
boat" bound for Manila Harbor in the Philippines. The world is still standing
by. Families and friends of the passengers and crew continue to be disturbed
by how the massive, state-of-the-art aircraft vanished without a trace of it
ever to be found.
