Nowadays, we can easily hop on a plane, and go from America to Europe, from America to Asia, to Africa, or from Europe to Africa. And all other sorts of flights around the world.

With that in mind, this documentary lists the history of commercial flights. How did we get here? What were the inventions necessary for commercial flights to be so available, affordable, and useful for everyone?
