and before iPhones were invented ............
Watch Wings Over Everest online

Released by British-Gaumont in 1934, this film documents The ‘Houston Mount Everest Expedition’ organized by Major L V Stewart Blacker, to fly over Mount Everest. Blacker persuaded the Royal Geographical Society, Air Ministry, India Office and Nepali government to let the flight go ahead. Financed by Lady Lucy Houston D.B.E., an aviator whose sponsorship also led to improvements in the Merlin engine and ultimately the development of the Spitfire. The film contains footage from three flights, two by Lord Clydesdale over Everest and one over Kangchenjunga by Air Commodore Fellowes.
