In 1958, Pan Am Airlines inaugurated a new service to London from the USA: Flight 1000. This was the first jet airline service to Europe by Pan Am. This film commemorates that flight and the preparations which led up to it. Features a Boeing 707 aircraft which, it is noted, has a longer wing span than the entire distance of the Wright Bros. first flight. The "Jet Age" had truly arrived.
