Great you posted the original version. The copy I have is a 16mm American version with the Tom Shirley narration, Shirley was a radio announcer and did a lot of work for AT&T in their films and announcer of the Bell Telephone hour. The Shell Film Library gave me a very nice film print in 1970, that's 54 years ago and is still part of my collection.
Very interesting video about helicopter evolution! I felt the absence of the Germans helicopters, operational during WW2. I remember the small Kolibri (used at navy ships ) and the other (larger) for general transport.
The first man to take off from the ground with a rotary wing (helicopter) was the French (Norman...) Paul CORNU in 1906, near LISIEUX (Normandy), Coquainvilliers, at a place called "la Goulafre"
This is an amazing documentation of the evolution of helicopter showcasing the brilliance and imagination of its inventors. In a span of 100 years, we have come so far. Thanks to those who imagined and dreamed- like da Vinci- that we can fly. 🫡🎉
The Denny Mumford Helicopter of Denny's Yard, Dumbarton, Scotland was a prototype helicopter flying before the First World War. It was destroyed in a storm, and development was cancelled due to the outbreak of WW I
The music at the starts sounds like the Church of England hymn Holy Holy Holy as the camera shows a light house which brings to mind Trinity House. Intentional or coincidence?
They already imagined it. They won't be as shocked as I am, living today in December 2024 😂😂. I revere the pioneers of anything scientific. One reason I am not MAGA, and will NEVER, EVER be!!!!
@Shell - The real first helicopter is was invented by Romanian citizen Paul Cornu in 1907 , not Leonardo da Vinci, not Sir George Caylay, not Launoy & Bienvenu, not Ponton d'Amecourt & Forlanini, not Juan de la Cierva, not S'Ascanio or other. Russia not invented helicopter.
@@lowtus7 Nose tilts down in sympathy with the rotor, yes, the helicopter follows the rotor. Its not gyroscopic precession its rotor phase lag. Aerodynamic forces control the rotor and that overpowers gyroscopic forces, that's why the rotor slows down when using the cyclic to tilt the rotor.
@@lowtus7 No problem, I'm glad you didn't ask to explain further because it gets much more complicated. I'm trying to understand it well enough to make a video about it. Lots of people think rotor phasing is due to gyroscopic precession, including some big UA-camrs, it needs to be demonstrated as incorrect.
@@Ben-Dixey After your reply, I did some more reading on the topic, but I'm still confused, lol. I only have experience with model helis, with rigid rotor heads, and always thought it had something to do with gyroscopic precession, but thanks for pointing out my mistake. Happy flying

I would like to know how many beheadings there were at the beginning
All of them!😂 Be well...
Only when they jumped from happiness because the concept worked.
The French were going to retire their guillotines and just put ejector seats in the first helicopters ......
Very very talented old guy best documentary very nice

wow, nice footage
"Invasion of the Flying Banannas" featured the soundtrack from Gilligan's Island when the natives are restless.
Outstanding Film 🎥
Juan de la Cierva was a genius... The Germans built the Colibrí a small autogiro, very practical, still in use today...
The Flettner Colibri (if that's the one you mean) was a helicopter, not a gyro.
Thats crazy how shell uploaded this💀

@Shell - The brother Wirght invented airplane with engine not helicopter.

et le colibri d'antone flatener??
First time I have seen a three rotor helicopter
No report on the German UBoats using them in WW2 ???
not helicopter .. towed gyrocopters
I WAS BORN ON 1952.
wonder how many people died trying to develop the helicopter
5
They sacrificed themselves and help many thousand in air rescue, disaster and medical aid...
Personal helicopters have finally arrived, in the form of single person drone style machines. So we eventually got there :)
Can you imagine the pioneers seeing a V-22 Osprey?

at 12:30 I think he got it backwards?
I think you are right that he got it wrong, however, due to gyroscopic precession,it is actually 90 deg out.

Thanks for the clarification.

There's always one. Leave it alone mate. We're not here for that.
Found one. Al? Is that you the hypocrite?
