Wings of Glory – The History of Air Racing
"Heaven is home of the birds, we are merely guests". Daredevil pilots enthrall millions around the globe, flying through Air Gates just a few meters above the ground, all at 400 km/h. Following the 9/11 attacks, the fascination with the Air Race reached its emotional peak in New York.
