Stearman

After spending more than twenty-years years as a Special Agent with the FBI, Kathy Stearman recounts the global experiences that shaped her life—and the mixed feelings that she now holds about the sacrifices she had to make to survive in a man's world.

The Boeing Stearman is one of aviation's most recognizable and loved aircraft. We summarize the history of The Stearman Aircraft Company up to 1933, when Lloyd Stearman left the company. Using historical footage, still photos, restored aircraft filmed air to air and interviews with their owners, we bring this history alive.
In the Crop Duster section, you will see unbelievable air-to-air footage of the Stearmans dusting and other action from the fifties and the important role that Crop Dusters played in saving these aircraft for future generations.

Documentary series following the efforts of dedicated enthusiasts committed to restoring fighter planes to their former glories.

The 25 Most Influential Aircraft of All Time conveys the fascinating progression of flying technology from flimsy wood-and-fabric biplanes to thunderous supersonic wonders. Aviation’s most historically relevant and arguably most influential aircraft – planes like the elliptical-winged Spitfire, the blisteringly-fast X-15, and the ubiquitous Learjet – are dramatically showcased in individual chapters. Factors like performance, price, operational efficiency, and perceptions in popular culture are examined.
