A short movie about flying and a reckless youngster who learns his lesson, featuring filmmaking, bi-planes, and jets. I saw this as a young child at the Air&Space Museum IMAX theatre, and there is a really dangerous stunt about halfway through that scared the heck out of me and my brother.
The pace is slower than modern films, and the dialogue feels dated to a modern viewer, but it's also an interesting look at how stunts used to be filmed before CGI made it easier, cheaper and safer.
You can watch this online (non-IMAX, of course) at the Hagley Digital Archives site.
