1969 was the first flight of Concorde, a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airline developed by British Aircraft Corporation and Aérospatiale under an Anglo-French treaty. The progress and development of the prototypes influenced both the politics and the economics of the era, leading eventually to the dual nationality of the aircraft, complex construction processes, and massive overspending in the race for civil aviation supremacy. As Concorde prepared to enter service, her great potential for dominating the skies was being challenged by the new large aircraft being built by the Americans. Concorde would be much faster, but the US aircraft were cheaper to operate. Other aircraft could not come close to matching her speed, breaking the sound barrier and of course her elegance with that unmistakable pointed nose cone. As Concorde evolved, so did the market challenges. There is plenty of video footage, facts from its development and service on this colour and black and white one hour DVD.
