Season 1 Episode 3 : Conquérir le ciel

Flying… A dream that has shaped the history of humanity. From the myth of Icarus to the liner of the skies, or through the Airbus A 380, man has long sought to imitate the bird, fascinated by the conquest of the sky. In just five centuries, and with a considerable intensification of technological and theoretical advances at the beginning of the 19th century, Man has accomplished an incredible revolution, which has changed his way of living and seeing the world: he has learned to fly. A story of flying fools – inventors, scientists – pursuing their quest, often at the risk of their lives.
