Aerial Show


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just finished watching Flying Down to Rio, a 1933 film featuring Fred Astaire with Ginger Rogers (of course!).

 

Included was an "Aerial Show," sort of a "Busbee Berkeley Takes to the Skies" kinda thing.  Primitive special effects, but enjoyable nonetheless!  ^_^

Got a kick out of the gals dancing around with stiletto heels. On a Cloth Wing!

Didn't think those old planes could handle that size payload, shifting back and forth, side to side.

 

 

One is expected to engage in a bit of suspension of disbelief... and admire the girls more than the aeroplanes. ^_^  :blush:

WAIT!!!

 

You mean to tell us that those girls weren't REALLY on the wings of those planes in flight?

 

I'm SHOCKED!  Yes, SHOCKED!

Surprised that many don't interfere with air flow over the wing. Maybe why they use bi-planes.

Good movie.

That's a good portion of the "Suspension of Disbelief" part.  :lol:

 

(And don't even begin to ponder weight payload and center of gravity!)  ^_^   image.png.ba7338e47734529d1eb2b5108d4c7b1a.png

 

[*ahem* - I had to look this up:  apparently the brassiere became popular during the 1930's. This film was made in 1933, apparently before the trend took hold.  :rolleyes:]
