'one by one they spread their wings'- very moving..
a fascinating glimpse of 80 years ago. Horrifying too when you realise how some threw caution to the wind in setting out on this endeavour- and attempted to fly so far with one engine and such basic navigation. Imagine how Miss Mildred Doran felt when her when her flight companions must have tried to persuade her not to go.
Civil kites of the 20's-30's are my favourite, i fly a bunch of them in Flight Sim X
