This film here is "cult", a piece of film history. It is the story of the competition for the first flight across the ocean, from Calais to Dover. At that time, had already done that in several stages. For this competition went to many nations, who are here all the caricatures in a loving way. There is the woman amateur Frenchmen, the many children Italians, the selfish British but also to fine Englishman with umbrella, there is the cowboy Americans, who saves selfless and of course there are the German general who played the immortal Gert Fröbe. A witty, intelligent, humorous film about flying, nationality, identity and the meaning of a rivalry. I know this film for many years and look forward yet again, to see him. Lovable.
