Hanging in the sky as if they were ghosts, patriots, warriors and the myths they exemplify -- the frontier, national independence and manifest destiny -- come to life at key points along the transcontinental route. Although Americans are widely considered to be a practical, well-grounded people with their eyes on the future, Freedom Highway shows a nation in...

DESCRIPTION : Flying with Arthur Godfrey 7:23:19- 7:23:31 An old (Wright Brothers style) plane sails through the air (nice sounds). Cut to a medium close up after it has landed. 7:25:02- 7:25:18 Excellent aerial view above old military planes (World War I vintage) crisscrossing in the air. Cut to another angle of the same planes shooting up and down in the sky. The final shot shows one of these planes nose diving to the ground. Looks like stock footage. 7:40:40- 7:41:11 Nice image of a plane...
