Today we fly down to Rio the University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machine is that make our civilization run and the people's ingenuity created them. The movie flying down to Rio came out in 1933 and we saw Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers together for the 1st time they were still secondary characters but after they did their exciting Carioca we knew we'd see them again the movie not only launched a stare and Rogers It also honed the surrealistic song and dance pieces that would become a movie staple for the next 2 decades Carioca may have been the best number in the movie but the most startling one was the title song flying down to real the characters weren't allowed to do a hotel floor show so they decided to take their show into the sky in a wildly impossible scene scantily clad dancers performed on the wings of airplanes in flight flight is everywhere in the picture dancers in the sky a balloon landing in an outdoor nightclub a marriage on a seaplane a rejected lover exiting by parachute and so on 2 years later Douglas Aircraft would finally produce its d.c. 3 and safe reliable commercial flight would become the norm but for the moment those dancers linked their travel to county fair wing walking a hair raising stunt we'd all seen it was a gloriously confused message air.

When the American government finally did get into the business of mass producing airplanes they adapted the British to Havilland for our d.h. 4 was a big solid airplane with very little daredevil inspiration it was of little use in combat and when the war ended we were left with thousands of them it turns out we were able to use them in the new air mail service but our 1st major transport plane was our Ford tri motor it was a more substantial version of another European airplane the Fokker tri motor we kept looking over our shoulder at Europe while we barnstormed flying down to Rio with dancing girls on airplane wings celebrated air travel but it kept the connection with Daredevil ri we badly needed to leave childhood behind and become adults 2 years later we produced the d.c. 3 the greatest airliner of any age and I suspect that leap occurred just because of our flying down to Rio impulses our special intimacy with the sky our childhood had lasted a long time but when we finally left childhood we were ready to bring flight to maturity very rapidly I'm John lean hard at the University of Houston where we're interested in the way inventive minds work.
