On their ‘return’ to Earth, three astronauts experience a mechanical issue that would have killed them if the flight hadn’t been a hoax. At director George Roy Hill’s request, Redford and co-star Bo Svenson flew without parachutes or safety harnesses for an authentic flight experience – something that probably wouldn’t be allowed these days! Capricorn One (1978) The Great Waldo Pepper was lauded for its flight scenes and is a fascinating watch for those interested in aeroplane stunts – some of them seem outright impossible. Waldo, who was made a flight instructor during the war, feels aggrieved not to have taken part in the dogfights himself, leading him to attempt ever more daring plane stunts and engage in rivalries with other stunt pilots. Robert Redford stars in this classic aviation drama as Waldo Pepper, a barnstormer (pilot stuntman) and First World War veteran. The take-off and flying scenes in Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines showcase the marvel of early aeroplane development, which really makes you realise how far we’ve come when compared to the type of aircraft available today for private charter flights. It’s interesting to see how some of these early aircraft were designed, and there are some brave stunts performed, too. Centred on an aeroplane race from London to Paris, it depicts aircraft from the early 20th century including the monoplane, biplane and triplane. This excellent film – also titled on the poster, How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes – appeals to both classic comedy fans and those interested in the origins of aviation. Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965)
Getting a look at the planes of the day, it’s evident just how skilled and daring pilots were back then.
