One hundred years of (aviation) history - CBC documentaries

I'm not sure where to post the following, but I will repost  it
in "Air Force General" forum

One hundred years of history

Canada’s conquest of the skies began at an elevation of between three and nine metres.
On February 23, 1909, the Silver Dart made the first powered flight in the country’s history,
over a distance of 800 metres.

One hundred years later, a replica of this legendary plane takes flight over the very same
frozen surface of Baddeck Bay, Nova Scotia. The event has kick off the Canadian Centennial
of Flight celebrations, to be continued year-long from coast to coast to coast.

As part of this voyage through time and space, CBC and Radio-Canada will be broadcasting
a four-part documentary series in the fall. Pending this series, our site offers a full calendar
of activities which will be held this year across the canadian sky.

The Canadian Centennial of Flight is also your celebration. If you have a memory to share
or have attended a commemorative ceremony, send us your comments, photos and audio/video
clips. We’ll post them on our website, year long. (all underline words have hyperlinks reachable on the

The four parts  are :

    * Episode One – First Flight
    * Episode Two – Conquering Geography
    * Episode Three – Lifelines
    * Episode Four – Dancing with Danger
