This beautifully filmed Lockheed promotional film hits the propaganda points hard, but makes up for it with the rare footage of Lockheed factory assembly lines and historic shots of famous flight celebrities. In addition to the great factory footage, there is also an explanation of how they used test pilots to try out their newest inventions, and to set records for speed. We watch as the Yankee Doodle, a Lockheed Vega, lands after breaking the speed record for a flight from NY to LA. There is also footage of the Wright brothers, Lindbergh and his wife, Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, Ruth Nichols, and others.
