From the GE Film Catalog: "The fastest ten years in aviation history are documented here as this motion picture follows the development by General Electric of the first American-produced jet engine. Humor, drama, suspense and historic airplane shots give this film a wide audience appeal. Every group will be interested in this thrilling story of the jet engine and the planes it powers. You will see actual test films of America's first jet flight, of the first carrier- based jets and of record-smashing dashes at Muroc.
This is the story behind the headlines featuring the men who planned and built the jet, as well as the men and planes that are writing today's news stories in the sky."
Parts of this film were used in the fim "Jet Power," also available on this channel.
This particular film turned out very dark. I lightened it as much as I dared.
