think, he's wanted to fly.
But flying was strictly for the birds...
and continued to be so
for thousands of years.
Man, eternally optimistic,
kept trying.
Encouraged by his many successes,
man kept trying.
Through his genius
and his inventiveness,
he managed to get
his machines off the ground,
and sometimes
he brought them down again.
Bravo! Bravo!
All over the world, early pioneers
And in Italy,
Count Emilio Ponticelli...
made what many people claimed
was the first long-distance flight.
by 1910, flying had become the rage.
Man had conquered the air,
and people everywhere
were all agog about...

They go up tiddly up up
They go down tiddly um down
They enchant all the ladies
and steal all the scenes
And their

Up, down
Flying around
Looping the loop
and defying the ground
They're all
frightfully keen
Those magnificent men
They can fly upside down
with their feet in the air
They don't think of danger
They really don't care
Newton would think
he had made a mistake
and the chances they take
Those magnificent men

They go down tiddly um down
They enchant all the ladies
and steal all the scenes
With their

Hello, Richard!
Oh, Richard! Oh, Richard,
please take me up.
Oh, no, not today.
No, it's much too windy.
Come on.
We'll swing her round.
And anyway, strictly speaking,
I'm still on duty. Lift!
It isn't too windy
for you to fly.
Come on.
Give a hand.
Oh, Richard,
look at that bird.
It can go wherever it likes,
whenever it likes.
- You're so lucky.
- Yes, I know.
Oh, I'd like to soar through the
air and look down on the world.
Right, let her down.
I think I'd make
a very nice bird.
Yes, I daresay.
Thank you, Carter.
Richard, isn't the rigging
a bit tight?
It seems to be
stretching the fabric.
at noticing things.
Well, I should jolly well hope so.
Thank you, Carter.
After all the work I've done
on this contraption.
Uh, Patricia,
did you get a chance to talk
Yes, he's very interested, but
you'll still have to talk to him.
Oh, well, I can do that,
all right.
Tell him it will increase the
circulation of his newspaper.
Wave the flag. You know,
Britannia rules the sea,
but she doesn't rule the sky,
and all that sort of thing.
Yes, I know
exactly what to say.
Good. Then, when he's agreed
to your idea,
you're to ask him
if you can take me flying.
Hmm. Yes, I might.
This afternoon?
- All right.
- Oh!
Patricia, not now.
I'm in uniform.
Oh, Richard,
don't be so silly.
Follow me in your motorcar.
I'll try not to go too fast.
Oh.
- What's the trouble?
- Oh, nothing.
- Father doesn't know about this.
- Oh.
Won't be a minute.
- Well?
- Very nice.
You look just like a girl.
Thank you.
You know, one of these days, your
father's going to find you out.
Mmm, I know.
Exciting, isn't it?
The trouble with aviation today
is that too many good ideas.. .
are being dissipated
in too many aeroplanes.
If we could bring together all these
different types from all over the world,
