- A film showing how the introduction of jet travel changed traditional ideas of space and time. The jet pilot in this film sped from northern cold to tropical heat in only a few hours. The film is a dramatic illustration of how high speed-travel shrinks the world and brings people together.
Directed by Joseph Koenig - 1964 | 17 min

This documentary is phenomenal and is so crisp to look at
I'm of an age where my first flight was on a TCA DC 8. This film brought back all sorts of memories. Thanks for posting this !
Love this video! My favorite is startup of the engines. Fortunate enough to be a child of the 50s and 60s, I well remember travelling on the DC8s. And I loved the large windows as well. In those days, flying really was an occasion.
Remember when they used to have food? I mean real food, not just something that's edible in a plastic container that tastes like it's there against it's will.

Yesssss!!!!
Travel on &in everything & anything during the early to mid 1950s was fabulous ; was GREAT : Boat ,Bus,Cab, bicycle, and especially the trains and aircraft! .
Great history preserved through film. Thank you NFB.
I remember watching this film in grade 1 in the early 70s.
Best part is listening to the Conways fire up!
Bypass ratio, 0.3 😎 I remember seeing them leave the then new Edmonton intl airport
Capt Reid’s car had a 1963 Quebec license plate, which would have expired in March ‘64. We hear someone ask if they put their snow tires on, which would place the date in late November / early December 1963. On Nov. 29, 1963, a Toronto-bound TCA flight 831 crashed shortly after take-off from Dorval airport, taking the lives of all 118 passengers and crew.
I miss the 20th century.
Wonderful Thank you .
I remember too seeing this in the very early 1970s at School
Great film looking back at the first generation jetliners. In this case, a Douglas DC-8. Hey, looks like our "jet pilot" is driving his "beater" to work! Note the rust holes above the right rear wheel well as he backs his car from the garage. Also note the broken driver's side window as he approaches the airport with the car.
He just lives in Montreal so he pre robbed his car
@@loganmtb5376 How 'bout that!
Love it! Thanks for uploading!
I LOL'd when they started talking about snow tires in Jamaica :D
I was very lucky , i got to fly Air Canada DC-8 Sim in 1975
Astonishing
Watching this film you wonder why there are any problems in the world today...
Ah, back in the day, when people dressed appropriately for travelling. Not dressed in the shit stained track pants, and sandals of today.
That was also "back in the day" when there were only the expensive seats (coach) and the REALLY expensive seats (1st class).

Wonderful days !
To where we are now.
Traveling now on cheap flights: greased fingers noisily fumbling/ bumbling/ stumbling their fingered- pads into their countless bags of corn chips .
Flying in one of these ' zoo- tuber's . . . HORRIFIC/NIGHTMARES
2:33 Universal Geneve Tricompax? veddy noice captain.
High life from wing commander to bring served in jamaica
No luggage wheels. No GPS.
Just before TCA changed their name to Air Canada.
1965 😁
Interesting
he drives to work with his hat on?
He is being filmed. :-) He did the walk toward the camera but don't look right at it bit.
See the rust bucket he was driving! Holes in the wheel wells. Looked like a 1957 Ford or Mercury.
Um how do you have 117,000 subscribers but so little views???
HostileLemons most of the TH-cam audience would skip over play times of over 2 minutes. For me personally, it would be tough for me to find a 17 minute chunk of time to watch a video, and when I do might be months after I add it to my "watch later" list. NFB videos aren't really the sort you can skip around to find the good parts.
the good old days when you could have a stewardess in every town in America and not have the Miss track your flight
Noise abatement in a DC8. 😂😂😂
I think we all know why they chose Jamaica as a vacation destination....ganja man
i wonder if those red raft like balloons keep the engine from freezing over
They are called engine covers to keep foreign matter such as slush and dirt from the engine,and yes to keep it from from freezing up as well.
Was this shot at Mirabelle airport?
Yes, and notice the reference in the briefing is still to Idlewild. This looks like the winter of 63/64; President Kennedy had only just been killed in November.
Wrong, this is definitely Dorval. Takeoff runway 28. Mirabel a long way off.
No it was not Mirabel it was Dorval. Mirabel didn't happen till about 1976
Airline pilot drives a rusted out car with a cracked DS window. really?
This was from a time when most people took the bus or walked. Captain Reed lived on the West Island and had a nice home with a garage...something many did not have at that time.
In Canada, it was common at that time to have , if finances permitted, what was affectionately known as " a winter car " . You drove a POS in the winter so your nice , newer car didn't get beaten up so badly . Road salt up here rusts out a lot of vehicles.
@@maintuning I'm FROM Canada dude.
Captain Reed drove a 1955/56 Monarch. Today a rare car precisely because these harsh winters corroded them & original production runs were low. Just an old car by 1964.
@@rarevhsuploads4995A 10 year old car was considered old .....Remember that they literally changed model designs every year .
🙄it's another distortion propaganda for 1960s puritan's public, NEVER that a reality: footing in city with airline uniform in Jamaican summer😆
Go on, crack your Woke Egg and tell us what the fuck you're talking about.
