Part 1: The Golden Age of Aviation: Lindbergh and the Zeppelins
It's the 70th anniversary of the opening of the first scheduled trans-Atlantic airplane passenger service, which opened in July 1939.
Told against a backdrop of the momentous events of World War 2, this eight-part podcast documentary by Michael Hanley tells the story of the Golden Age of Aviation in Ireland.
Airlines like Pan American Airways (PAA) and the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) with their flying boats like the Short series of planes, and the massive Boeing 314 were welcomed in the embrace of the River Shannon estuary in this seaport on the edge of Europe.
