    Arthur Godfrey, in my humble opinion, is exemplary. High moral principle, and an example of that temporal virtue of prudence. A gem of a gentleman.

      Please read a note about him in Wikipedia. He wasn't always a gentleman like in this movie.

    Dick Merrill is a legend. Look him up. The guy flew basically everything from early aviation to modern airliners before retiring.

    Men of class and honor and it showed in the way they work and how they take pride in their work in a professional manner yet with humility and firmness.

    This is full of fascinating stuff - as well as the really detailed overview of how planes work, an interview with a US WW1 pilot, and another with the first commercial pilot to cross the Atlantic. Amazing stuff!!

    The DC-3 was an amazing aircraft, it had the ability to fly under a lot of conditions land in the Pacific and bring supplies and they did it with such precision, and it was amazing when they turned the DC-3, and other aircraft into Puff the Magic Dragon, if you carry all that supplies you can carry a lot of ammunition and destroy the enemy with devastating Firepower in the dc-8

    One thing about this craft is that we didn't adopt what we had captured from Germany the swept Wing design, after testing these aircraft you should understand immediately that the swept Wing design was superior to the flat wing especially when you're using jet engines

    I remember going into I think it was TWA, back then you had hot waitresses the best food you could possibly you didn't even get food like this in restaurants and the girls would just like supermodels it was the most amazing experience now that throw peanuts at you and everybody's looking to make sure nobody goes near the cockpit

    I doubt they really had any passengers on board..I'm not sure when they're filming the cockpit scenes they're actually in the air. I'd really like to know how Dick Merrill truly felt about Godfrey..

  • @Dra741

    He fathered all three engines and still had enough power from one engine, to keep stable and to land just think about the redundancy here

    You saw how he landed this big plane with a minimum of wheel contact that was razor, look at when he makes contact with the runway, that is this is real men do stuff like this

    The Army was smart when they met the Wright brothers they said this thing looks like it can be something that consistently Works they gave them $5,000 to make plans, and every time they tested them they flew further and higher

    We had real men that came back from World War II and a lot of them were B-29 Pilots, Pilots that flew Stratofortress, these were real men that have followed American traditions our Traditions are so good, end their transition from the war many of the Great American war heroes was in movies, expounding and exuding American values, and we develop exponentially, we even as a young child I knew what aircraft was I know what about the engines I know about the wings I know how they fought in the War with the tragedies was and that maybe in the future we going to have to do the same thing so we were primed to defend our country, when you're taught by a man you're going to be a man
