Later, although his flight commander has explicitly banned low level aerobatics (as two pilots have been killed trying just that), he is goaded into it by a disparaging remark by a civilian pilot. The wing tip of his bi-plane touches the ground during his flight and he crashes dramatically, and is clearly badly injured. Despite losing both his legs during peacetime, he signed up again when the Second World War broke out, and flew Hurricanes and Spitfires in the Battles of France and Britain. He was one of "The Few." Despite being always in trouble with senior officers for his rebellious nature and his forthright challenges to authority, the intrepid pilot became a popular British hero. Deservedly so, in my opinion.

Lighter than Air": This episode focuses on the history of ballooning, starting with the experiments of the Montgolfier brothers and the 1783 flight of Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes over Paris, and moving on to cover the flight of Jacques Charles and Marie-Noel Robert in the first hydrogen filled balloon, the 1785 crossing of the English Channel by Jean-Pierre Blanchard and John Jeffries, and James Glaisher and Henry Coxwell's record-breaking 1862 flight to over 30,000 feet. The episode subsequently charts the development of the airship, its use in World War I, and the golden age of large passenger airships with its high-profile disasters such as the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. Other topics include the rediscovery of balloons as an instrument of scientific research in the 1930s, and interview with Joseph Kittinger about the contribution of balloons to the U.S. space program in the 1950s, and more recent attempts by individuals such as Richard Branson to set new ballooning records. Eventually, he was shot down over France and captured by the Germans. He spent the rest of the war in Prisoner of War camps, and directed his trouble-making at his captors. He escaped, was re-captured, and imprisoned in the infamous Colditz Castle.

Reaching for the skies" is unequivocally the best aviation documentary ever made in the history of film, and the history of flight. The series consists of 12 parts. The history is well researched; the narration is to the point, informative, and fascinating like flying itself. The story starts with Wright brothers' achieving what was impossible throughout known human history. The documentary covers all aspects of flying from the fastest, to the dangerous, to the most comfortable of aircraft. It is narrated by British actor Anthony Quayle and by Robert Vaughn for its American and International releases. The show is divided into 12 programs The Kokapet and Puppalaguda areas are leading the charge, with a total of 18 proposed buildings between them. The Candeur Skyline, planned at Puppalaguda to reach a towering height of 234.9 meters, will be the jewel in the crown as the tallest building in South India. In fact, the city is likely to be the second tallest in the country after Mumbai in the next five years. In 1928, Douglas Bader joins the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a Flight Cadet. Despite a friendly reprimand from Air Vice-Marshal Halahan for his disregard for service discipline and flight rules, he successfully completes his training and is posted to No. 23 Squadron at RAF Kenley. In 1930, he is chosen to be among the pilots for an aerial exhibition.
