On July 25, 1909, French aviator Louis Bleriot left the coast of France and landed 37 minutes later on the white cliffs of Dover, England, creating a sensation as big as the first Apollo moon landing. A Daring Flight captures the thrilling formative years of flight, and tells the story of present-day flying dreams, as Louis Bleriot's grandson tries to recreate his grandfather's epic flight in a nearly identical, now antique, aircraft.
