Sir Frank Whittle's invention of the jet engine makes him the most influential Briton of the 20 th
century after Churchill. Not only did his vision change the face of the Earth, it enabled us all to see what it actually looks like.
In Whittle – The Jet Pioneer
Sir Frank tells his amazing yet poignant story in his own words. The film also includes contributions from his son Ian Whittle, test pilot Captain Eric Brown RN and Hans von Ohain – and is richly illustrated with rare wartime colour archive of Britain's first jet planes. This film
is a feature-length version of the documentary originally made by Quanta for The History Channel.
