A fine series which gives credit where credit is due.
Yes, its Boeing-centric, but there are LOTS of interesting and balanced perspectives as commercial, military and Apollo space. There are plenty of independent and respected aviation and space historians (James P. Hallion, etc.), Frank Borman (astronaut), and other executives of Airbus and Rockwell (Dale Myers) to provide a balanced perspective. Also there are a NUMBER of times that Boeing bet the company (i.e. if the airplane failed, so would the company) like the B-17, 707, 747. They are now the only commercial aircraft provider for airlines. Boeing executives also provide unique insights as to how engineering today's planes differ from the 707. Its my opinion that these are important and significant events that Boeing deserves credit for, and I have no problem them stating this. I think its fair for them to describe a little-known TIE program after the Apollo 1 fire to help correct major issues. Its fair to give credit when credit is due. This is also a well produced program with archive footage and describing things that I had never known.

Mario Calderara was born in Verona 10 October 1879, the elder son of an army officer, Marco, and Eleonora Tantini. Marco Calderara (1848-1928) reached the rank of general of the "Alpini" corps. Eleonora Tantini died at the age of fifty, when Mario was 21 year old.
Since his early childhood Mario was attracted by life at sea. In 1898 he entered the Naval Academy in Livorno, and graduated as a midshipman in 1901. During his Livorno years he was known by his classmates for always dreaming about human flight, something which was totally unknown in those days, except for the successful gliding flights of Otto Lilienthal (who fell to his death in 1896) and the aborted powered flight of Clement Ader in France. Mario's classmates were joking about his flying mania, and one of them made a sketch of Calderara on a flying machine, crashing to the ground and being carried to a hospital, and then to a cemetery.
In 1905, Mario Calderara wrote to the Wright brothers in Dayton Ohio, after hearing about their successful attempts at flying (a documented record of their flights was known only after 1905). He asked them about technical details and was pleasantly surprised when he received a satisfactory answer from Wil
