Ulisse - Il piacere della scoperta
Season 11 Episode 9 - La conquista del cielo
In this episode we retrace the history of human flight with Alberto Angela. We tell the story of the daredevils who were the first to dare to challenge fate and take flight towards the sky, initially embarked on truly unlikely flying machines, and then on board increasingly daring vehicles, engaged in extremely dangerous undertakings. Through a documentary we will reconstruct the lives of the young pilots of the First World War, in particular the English fighting against the legendary Red Baron. We will understand who the first pioneers of flight were and what it meant to take off when every flight was a gamble with life at stake. As we will see, it took extraordinary courage, and then ambition, the desire for glory, and sometimes even the need to win money. All in the glittering atmosphere of the Belle Epoque.
