NAL Heritage Films Collection trailer

The National Aerospace Library funded by the Royal Aeronautical Society has launched a new online heritage film collection with more than 30 videos uncovered films previously held in its archives and recently digitalised for viewing for the first time on the newly launched National Aerospace Library RUclips channel.
Films from the archive date back to 1927 and include among other highlights rare footage from Donald W. Douglas which showcases early airliners, the original inflight movie being shown and a film from the first round-the-world flight which took place in 1924.
The film archive covers the evolution of aviation and aerospace including:
• A range of early rotorcraft films in colour and black-and-white
• Airport footage, including from Britain’s first major international airport in Croydon
• Early commercial aviation videos
• Historical footage of the beginnings of the aerospace industry and aircraft design
In addition, this RUclips channel contains other video content such as documentaries and lectures which promotes rich heritage content.
A full list of the video content is arranged under ‘Playlists’ which can be found here: www.aerosociety.com/movies
The archive content will continue to be added to the RUclips channel, and viewers can subscribe for free to be alerted to new uploads.
