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 4: Conquering the Atlantic
The air conquest of the North Atlantic, one of the great barriers that divide the world, is the story of the aeroplane against the elements and against the airshipsand of both against the ocean liners.
It became a race to run the first commercial air service over the most prestigious route linking the New World with the Old. With all the business and national rivalries, the ingenuity and strange by-products and the endless search for the right aircraft, it is, in itself, the story of civil aviation.
And within the New World itself, great land distances have been conquered, and routes are still being pioneered by the modern jets. Film cameraman EUGENE CARR
