The Jumbo Jet: 50 Years in the Sky (2018)

The Jumbo Jet: 50 Years in the Sky plot

It has been fifty years since the original 'jumbo jet', the Boeing 747, flew its first commercial flight. Fascinating archival material shines a light on the brilliant work the design engineers put into the ingenious ingenuity behind the aircraft, showing that the impact of the aviation revolution has made the world shrink for a large proportion of its inhabitants. Both engineers and pilots also open a book about the difficulties they faced during the design and the first flights.
