Living in the Age of Airplanes

LIVING IN THE AGE OF AIRPLANES is a tribute to the history of aviation as a form of transportation. Narrated by actor and aviator Harrison Ford, the documentary doesn't dwell so much on the process of making airplanes as on the way airplanes have revolutionized the world by allowing people to be global citizens -- and nations to defend themselves on a grander scale. Divided into five parts, the documentary gives a broad history of the magic of airplanes, from life before flight to the early days of commercial airline travel to the way people can now span the globe without giving a second thought to the amazing way airplanes stay up.
