Easily understandable explanation of how helicopters work and what they can be used for. Great color, although the film is a bit scrathced and dirty in places. Lots of pictures of rare and experimental 1950's helicopters and a marvelous autogiro. The shot of the helicopter leaving the rooftop pad on a private home seemed to promise much more than the future delivered of course.
