Speed Graphic Film and Video | Three Flights in the 1950's (narrated version) @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is the narrated version of this video. To see the music-only version, go here: youtube.com/watch?v=rPyDu45AR9s
These film clips, which were donated the National Archives, show three civilian aircraft from the 1950's: a Douglas DC-6, the Boeing 367-80, and one of Pan Am's first Boeing 707's.
0:10 This montage shows a series of Douglas DC-6B's at embarkation, taking off, in flight, and landing. The careful viewer will note that the planes shown at embarkation and landing are not the same as the plane shown taking off and flying.
2:03 The Boeing 367-80 was a one-off prototype that led to the famous 707. It is shown here taking off, in flight and landing.
4:35 One of Pan Am's first 707's, N-707PA, is seen here embarking, taking off, in flight, landing, taxiing and disembarking.
The original film is silent, so I've added two tracks from MILES AHEAD, Miles Davis' and Gil Evans' collaborative album of 1957.
