A series of uniquely crafted aviation focused podcasts that look at the people, history, technology and its social impact during its rather short existence.

The videos are a mix of work by two generations of filmmakers, Jim and Bruce Reilly. Jim Reilly was a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force that had an amazing career flying during WWII, the Malayan Emergency, the Konfrontasi and the early days of Air Sea Rescue. Bruce, his son, has worked all over the world as an aircraft maintenance engineer and safety systems specialist.
