Adventures in Jet Power (1958)

Scientist Ed Powers and younger brother Johnny Powers attend an air show at the GE Flight Test facility outside of Schenectady, NY. While watching planes fly overhead, Ed discusses the development of the jet engine and its importance to winning World War II. Ed mentions the historical development of the turbine, how a jet engine works, and how quickly flight had evolved in under 50 years. Theme is similar to Adventures in Jet Propulsion, with less focus on the invention of the jet engine and greater emphasis on improvements in the jet engine and how the jet engine works.
