Seems to be another aviator landing on the same field in France where Charles Lindbergh had landed. (There was a competition to be first to make the transatlantic flight; and others followed after L.'s success.) Opens w/ CU flat monument; propped up; w/ words engraved in French. Translation: Charles Lindbergh after having crossed the Atlantic; landed here; 22 May; 1927. Men walking & running across field as aeroplane lands in BG. Crowd swarming round plane; incl. journalists; photographers; 1 other cameraman carrying movie camera past.
CU held up above heads of crowd; w/ bouquet of flowers. Several men move his aeroplane; pushing it across field. More of crowd looking over crowd to in BG. Pilot shaking hands & talking w/ crowd; hangar in BG. He & another man walk toward cam.; crowd standing behind them. They stop & the man shows the pilot the monument; to be set in the ground. Then the pilot and the 2 officials take turns reaching down; scooping something out of container w/ trowel and dropping it on ground in front of the stone. Rather confusing: it would make sense for Lindbergh himself to be helping to set the stone; but why this other aviator?. (He does look a bit like L. but not as handsome. Maybe he is L.'s cousin or something.). Crowd walking. Aviation; stunts.
(Spellings for search purposes - Lindburg, Lindberg, Lindburgh).
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
