Wright Brothers: First in Flight

Written by
Documentary

Synopsis

Famed pilot, historian and aircraft designer Ken Hyde heads a team of engineers who construct the most accurate reproduction extant of the 1903 Wright Flyer. You'll hover over their shoulders as the team researches photos, blueprints and half-written notes. Then, on December 17, 2003 (exactly 100 years to the minute after the Wright's historic first flight), watch as Hyde gets his chance to repeat history in his replica Flyer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Craft leads on file
