Episode 7 - Dying To FlyWho will be the first to fly across the Atlantic? People take flying across the oceans of the world for granted now, but in the early 20th century the seas were the great barrier to air travel. The race to be the first to cross the Atlantic by air held as much excitement - and danger – as the race to the moon. Legends and Lore brings you a look at the men and women who died to make modern air travel possible, and Atlantic Canada’s crucial role in those early days of aviation .
