Prick the Balloon 24 - Early Aviators

From the Wright Brothers to Lindbergh was barely over two decades, but the dash, daring, heroics, and heartbreaks were numerous in the beginning of powered flight. Prick the Balloon applies its usual unvarnished truth and sarcastic wit to early aviation. Host Mike Vance Writer is the published author of 14 books with more on the way. He has written, produced and directed eight feature length history documentaries and over 150 short history films, and he sometimes teaches continuing studies in history at one of the country's highest rated private universities. He also headlined comedy clubs across North America for 16 years, so we'll keep things interesting.
