Race for the Sky on SBS – Flying has always stood for freedom, for the opportunity to glide through the air like a bird.
The history of aviation is a never-ending race to create the fastest, longest-ranging, most powerful, quietest, most comfortable, or largest airplane of its time. And it is a competition for individual successes and records.
The breath-taking two-part documentation traces the historical development in the race for supremacy in the sky and shows the immense challenges facing modern aviation today.
Series One, Episode One:
The history of aviation is a perpetual race. From the very beginning, inventors, designers, and other sky stormers competed to make their dream of flying come true. Part one of the documentary tells the story of people who had the courage to cross borders, to risk their lives and who ultimately made the ‘adventure of flying’ an experience for everyone.
Race For The Sky – New Series Premiere – Monday, 27 March at 8.30pm on SBS and SBS on Demand (2 Parts)
