This review is from: Birth of Flight: History of Civil Aviation (DVD)
This is a very well done series on the history of aviation. As a pilot of over 30 years and a history buff I was surprised to learn things that I had not previously known. Someone did a fine job of researching old photos and film footage not seen in other videos of this type. I'm not a tech-no-nut but I found the quality of the disks to be easily viewable. Good value for money.

This is one of the best civil aviation history documentaries I have ever seen (and i've seen many). The classic footage is fantastic, and much of it even seems a bit restored in it's clarity. The DVD spans the whole gamut of historical flight, from balloons to dirigibles to airplanes, including the invention of the jet engine and how it changed the world. Since this is a history of commercial aviation, do not expect much mention of specific military aircraft. All in all, a very enjoyable 7 hours or so of classic aviation, and very well done.

This DVD was purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband who has been an avid pilot since he was 16 years of age. He did not know this was availble and was thrilled to receive it. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in aviation.
