    Default Wright brothers engine

    Another video showing the earlier years of flying history : the Wright brothers machinist is interviewed at approx. 36 minute mark as a old man and he describes how he built their engine including machining the crankshaft out of a solid chunk of steel.

    Some rarely seen WW1 scenes from around the one hour twenty minute mark .
