On Fairey Wings: A Full-Length Documentary

A one-hour, narrated documentary on one of the most famous aircraft manufacturers of the 20th Century, yet one also overlooked or maligned as often as remembered with fondness. Innovative creators who were on the short end of the stick but the cutting edge of aviation, it remains ironic that the dated Swordfish and Battle kept in service by a financially-strapped Britain are remembered most. This video explores the heritage of Fairey from one year to the next, following each design as it left the drawing board. From the early days of Fairey's floatplanes to their unsuccessful civil designs, from successful Stringbags to flops and failures, and from the Battle to the battles that brought the Allies victory, and on further to the crucial role in developing some of the most advanced aircraft the world has ever known before fading away in those dismal years of 1970s Britain, this is the story of flight on Fairey wings.
