Flights


My thanks go to Lou Payton (SLHS '46) for sending me this link.  It accesses a video of Charles A. Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic in 1927.  The author, Win Perkins, assembled all the existing newsreel footage into a chronological whole to give a comprehensive recounting of the story.  Click here to access the Web site.

I want to thank T. V. Abercrombie, Jr. (DHS '64) for this next video.  An American pilot, who flew a Spitfire on photo reconnaissance over Germany in WWII, sees a film of himself crash landing his plane decades later.  It's a great story and won an award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.  Click here to access the video.
