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.
