I posted this to HipPocket, but I guess I should mail it also here:
Earlier this year the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) aired a film
from 1934, called "Our boys in the air". The film is most of all to
promote the importance of air force and aerial weapon (I guess there
were the first undertones of the war coming 5 years later), but the
first scene tells how important model aviation is to introduce aviation
to the youth, and shows an indoor contest, where the "champion" from the
previous year makes a new record with his new model (and is greeted by
hoorays from the audience). New record: 5 minutes and 25 seconds.
I uploaded the clip into Youtube but put it unlisted, as the copyright
issues of such movie clips are sort of unclear. Follow this link but
please do not distribute further:
