This amazing film traces the early years and founding of one of the worlds premier aviation manufactures, Lockheed Aircraft. Released just prior to World War II by Lockheed, this film shows the early commercial aircraft success of the company, as well as giving a complete list of the airlines throughout the world flying Lockheed airplanes. A tour of the factory in Burbank, California, with its 35,000 employees takes you through the concept, design, engineering, production, and testing phases of making the Electra, Twelve, and Loadstar commercial aircraft, as well as the military B-14 Hudson bomber and revolutionary P-38 fighter. A bonus film entitled "Age of Flight", filmed during World War II, adds even more depth to the understanding of why America remains to this day on the cutting edge of aircraft design. 50 minutes.
