- An absorbingly interesting story, begun in France less than fifteen years ago, when the Wrights made their first public flights in a motor-driven, heavier-than-air craft. The camera records this bit of history, and shows the machines in which the first experimental flights were taken, and their launching by the device of the "launching weight." The first flight achieved a little over a mile. "And," says the title, "this is what came of those early experiments." Then flashes an air view of a fleet of present-day planes in battle formation. On October 3rd, 1908, the first passenger flight was made - a run of 36 miles, staying in the air 55 minutes. The camera record of that flight is shown in contrast with exterior and interior views of our present monster passenger planes. While the Wrights were experimenting, other curious machines were being brought out. The camera gives us a glimpse of some of those early attempts at flight. Finally, Wilbur Weight reached a height of 360 feet - a record for that time. Views that follow show exceptional scenes taken from planes flying over mountain tops. In those early days, "stunting" was unknown. In contrast, the film ends with some examples of present-day stunt flying.

- William Crane, an autoist, has lots of admirers, among whom Bertha Monroe is the chiefest. Crane calls on Bertha for a spin in his machine. Bertha's mother, knowing Crane's reckless proclivities, is adverse to her daughter's acceptance. Now the terminus of their drive found them at the Aviation Field, where a number of flying men held forth. Among these was the dare-devil Lee Hammond himself. Lee was a great admirer of Bertha Monroe. Lee knew Miss Monroe's daring spirit, and his quickly given invitation to her for a flight was readily accepted by her. Before Crane realized what had happened, she was up in the air. In rage he dashed after them in his auto, but he soon came to grief, and was compelled to alight to tinker with the jarred mechanism. Hammond also alighted so that he might also pay his attentions to his fair companion. Soon, however, Crane was rushing on the scene, and what might have proved a tragic ending was averted by the clever girl, who proposed that the question of right to her be settled by a race. The race came off, the Aviation Field being selected for it. Then both machines, aero and auto, leaped forward like things alive, at terrific speed. At last the stamina of the thing of the air begins to count. The last lap had been made in a sensational flight; then came a startling culmination. The man-bird swooped down where the fair judge was standing, and the life and soul of the bird, Lee Hammond, reached out, clutched her, and bore her triumphantly aloft.
- To understand the lack of action in curtailing the climate crisis, one first needs to appreciate the politics behind regulation and who is involved.

It is this which is known as 'regulatory capture' - here they present a recent report on corporate capture of the aviation regulators.
