Ever since the first daring aviator Jeft the ground the work of flying has been virtually a closed book to the lay- man. The skymen have been almost | 8 race apart, glimpsed only in the blue distance. A bird he was and a bird he scemed. His world above the clouds, with its startling panoramas, has been exclusively his own. The world has read of his exploits, thrilled to his deeds, marvelled at the wonders of his work, but of intimate knowledge of flying comparatively little has been revealed. In “Wings" the public is taken be- hind the scenes. The spectator is car- ried through all the vivid, colorful "':brld lof th‘en lfl‘lye{fi HTI is seated Ih’l e plane wit e pilot and rides B i through the hitherto unseen canyons | Chy . he Forslgn Legion. of the clouds. .
