History of Early Airplanes: The Triumph of Technology Part I [1.26]
Living at the start of the digital age, it's not hard to imagine the ways in which new technologies lead to social change. This episode charts perhaps the three most important inventions of the 20th century: cars, airplanes and radio. For these devices not only opened new ways of doing things, they were proof in an age of cynicism of the power of science and rationality. Thanks to technology, Europeans did the impossible. In the episode, you'll hear about things like the first flight across the Atlantic, and find out why fliers such as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart became such a global superstars. Also learn about the origins of modern automakers such as Ford, Fiat, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Citroen, as well as the birth of commercial aviation. Topics covered include: Intro (on modernity and technology) (0:50), the meaning of flight (9:27), The first fliers (18:01), Lindbergh, Earhart and other heroic fliers (31:37), the rise of commercial air travel (45:21) .
