I saw Arthur Godfrey pilot an Eastern Airlines Constellation.


That was a great video that really captures the era. I've got
excerpts from it he

and

These are gi-normous downloads, so be patient.


That's where I got the whole thing, although it's on YouTube as well.

I wonder how the real Eastern captain felt as mere copilot to the
Hollywood Eastern captain in the person of Arthur Godfrey.



He probably felt like the Captain.

I also wonder whom the film targeted, since I don't recall hearing
about it before, and I can't find many references to it.
