Shiloh 12 Posted July 27, 2011 The Millionaires' Unit is a feature-length documentary film about a group of elite Yale students who formed an aero club and were among the very first pilots to serve America in combat over the skies of Europe in World War I. Using all the resources of their privileged backgrounds, they pioneered American aviation while becoming heroes – some making the ultimate sacrifice. I believe it is currently in development as they are doing screenings on edits. It looks to have real potential and I found out about it through an aerodrome that is just a few hours from my house. They did much of the filming there last fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted July 27, 2011 Ah, you mean Cole Palen's Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome - that is very famous around here! Cole Palen must have been a good man - he flew an Albatros! Thanks for the links, Shiloh - will investigate the other now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I will be going for a visit there over the next month Olham as they have quite an impressive array of crates to see and every Saturday and Sunday they put on quite an airshow from what I hear. If anyone has a chance, check out Cole Palen's story. It's an interesting one and his dedication to preserving original planes for all to see is quite remarkable.

Olham 164 Posted July 27, 2011 Remember when you see his Albatros - it is painted like Eduard Ritter von Schleich's craft. Oh, I envy you, Shiloh - perhaps you make some pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted July 27, 2011 I will certainly take some photos Olham and post them back here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
