A series of seven programmes Presented by Julian Pettifer 3: Opening the Routes
This programme tells the story from the very beginning in 1919, when pilots followed the railway lines and expected to make forced landings. But hazardous journeys in wood and fabric bi-planes developed into the comfort and reliability of the Empire Flying-boats. In America, the world's first air hostesses served prohibition brandy in the fruit cocktails and the search for new passengers led to exclusive service on the ground and in the air.

In 1932, the 20-month-old son of Charles Lindbergh , the first man to fly the Atlantic, was kidnapped and murdered. Lindbergh was a national hero and the crime became ' an insult to America'.
The police case against German immigrant Bruno Hauptmann was built on circumstantial evidence, and since Hauptmann went to his grave protesting his innocence, the full story will probably never be known.
