Please note that this program was originally produced in 1987 and a small portion of the program near the end was captured on industrial video equipment typical of the period. This only involves a tiny portion of the hour-long show but we want our buyers to know this and make their purchase decision with this information in mind. This is a very good documentary but it is 20 years from its original release date. There are exclusive interviews with tiltrotor experts who have since passed away. It is a story you'll never learn anywhere else!
