Experience the early days of flight in Edwardian England.
In the early days of English aviation, journalist C.C. Turner seemed to be everywhere, witnessing bold new feats and going on some harrowing adventures of his own. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll sample Turner's record of those exciting times, including his own clumsy first attempt to fly an airplane and a record-setting balloon voyage to Sweden.
We'll also ponder the nuances of attempted murder and puzzle over a motel guest's noisemaking.
