Herbert Brucker Film
Collection — Box: Film Box 2, Reel: 1
Identifier: 2007-11-16-B
The Herbert Brucker Film is a small collection containing one privately shot black-and-white film taken at Mitchell Field in Garden City, New York in 1927. The film is five minutes and 44 seconds long.
The footage depicts several well-known aviation events and activities by famous aviators, such as Charles Lindbergh taking off in the "Spirit of St. Louis" for his transatlantic flight; the christening of "America," Richard E. Byrd's Fokker C-2; and James Doolittle performing aerobatic maneuvers. More general aviation scenes are also featured, such as flights by the 1st Pursuit Group and the USS Los Angeles airship and a parachute jump by an unidentified individual. The final scene features Charles Lindbergh's motorcade driving by a house, though the vehicles pass too quickly for him to be seen.
