Wright Brothers Flight (1900-1920)

This is part of a Pathe progress story contrasting the modern aeroplanes of the late 1920’s with Wright Brothers’ early planes. CU from behind Wright plane ready to take off; it taxis on three small wheels; a few men walking or running after it. Cut to shot of another Wright plane flying at low altitude over muddy field. Then shot of plane flying higher; towards camera. Rotating wipe; changes to shot of bizarre craft, looks like passenger plane with windows along sides but is moving in the water; 4 front propellers spinning. Next a big 4-propeller biplane on ground at airfield. Closer shot from front of the shiny metallic plane. CU from just behind wings and propellers. Side view nose; cockpit; portable stairs under plane door. Title - ’The Pathe Gazette now takes you back to 1903 to see one of Wilbur Wright’s first flights to enable you to realise aviation’s giant progress in 24 years’. (Film may actually be from as 1909). CU as Wilbur Wright attaches wheels to plane; or really; tilts plane t
