Legends of the Sky: The Liberty Plane
This documentary tells the story of the “Liberty Plane,” the first American airplane mass produced to support the nation’s efforts in World War I. The film also details the plane’s contribution to postwar aircraft advancements, such as air-to-air refueling that made long-distance flights possible, as well as the beginnings of the U.S. air mail service, whose pilots flew over the Rocky Mountains often with little more than a compass and road map.
