Siegeszug der Düsenjets

Directed by Birgit Tanner and Mira Thiel

With Christian Rode

Nowadays, people board large jets and travel across continents to their destination as a matter of course. This was not always the case. The documentary tells the story of Hans Pabst von Ohain and the Englishman Frank Whittle, who independently came up with the idea of using jet propulsion for airplanes in the 1930s.
