Summary

All crowd records will be eclipsed - and a more amazing exhibition of flying thrills than ever will be given. The supreme thrill will be an "Aerial Battle in the defence of London". [This section: Cameramen: Scales, Bassill, Gemmell. Length: "Super 65.00 m" and "Short 40.00 m", though the "Short" length has been struck through.] 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 ... Who could have foreseen 20 years’ ago, that giant machines would ‘take the sky’ as easily as night - as by day? [This section: Source: Pathe News. Length: "Super 25.00 m" and "Short 25.00 m", though the "Short" length has been struck through.]
