wow you must love smelling your own bm just read and learn what a no talen arse h arthur was and how he treated talented people. but of course you must get all of your dribble not from real history but from msnbc etc
Men of class and honor and it showed in the way they work and how they take pride in their work in a professional manner yet with humility and firmness.
This is full of fascinating stuff - as well as the really detailed overview of how planes work, an interview with a US WW1 pilot, and another with the first commercial pilot to cross the Atlantic. Amazing stuff!!
A couple years ago I took my Grandson to the Shannon Air Museum in Fredericksburg Va. they where showing a clip of this movie, turns out Capt. Merrill was the first manager of the Museum.
I doubt they really had any passengers on board..I'm not sure when they're filming the cockpit scenes they're actually in the air. I'd really like to know how Dick Merrill truly felt about Godfrey..
@ privately Captain Eddie used to say that Arthur was a pain in the ass and he used to call him or rat bastard and he said what he did to Julius La Rosa was the worst thing ever
Arthur Godfrey, in my humble opinion, is exemplary. High moral principle, and an example of that temporal virtue of prudence. A gem of a gentleman.
Please read a note about him in Wikipedia. He wasn't always a gentleman like in this movie.

Dick Merrill is a legend. Look him up. The guy flew basically everything from early aviation to modern airliners before retiring.
Agreed. An absolute legend.
@@thesooguy3401 thanks, he absolutely was legendary

Thank you!!!! 😊
Amazing! a real treasure for aviation lovers. Thank you for sharing!
My Father also an instrument rated pilot and instructor knew Author Godfrey from their early days flying out of Virginia.
Of course they smoke cigs in the cabin xD
Treasure aviation video!!
At 3:20, not a "compound-engine-powered" Super Connie. No PRTs.
His neighbors hated the DC-3 making all that noise and rattling dishes.

Indubitably
Captain eddy hated Arthur and would never invite him to any parties
