As Civil Aviation celebrates its 60th year, this series of seven programmes examines the impact of air travel on ourselves and the world we live in. Presented by Julian Pettifer
A candid, behind-the-scenes picture of a modern airline during a remarkable year...
United Airlines is the largest airline in the non-communist world. In 1978 like most airlines in the USA, United enjoyed a year which has become a landmark in aviation history. A tempting array of cut-price fares with names like 'Supersaver', 'Chickenfeed' and 'Peanuts' seduced a nation of air travellers into the skies as never before. For the airlines, the cash registers rang; for the passengers there were unprecedented delays, frustrations and overall chaos.
The American experience of 78 highlighted many of the problems in air travel today but, despite the traumas, airline executives are optimistic for the future.

At the height of the American depression in the summer of 1936, writer JAMES AGEE and photographer WALKER EVANS travelled south to Alabama. There they lived with a family of poor white farmers recording their daily lives in intimate detail. What emerged was an extraordinary and personal account of deprivation and poverty - the classic book Let Us Now Praise Famous' Men. Over 40 years later, Arena returned to Alabama to trace the survivors of that original family.
