In this episode of Compact History, Richard explores the history of aviation accidents, from the fragile flying machines of the early twentieth century to the complex crash investigations of the modern era. Along the way we uncover the tragedies that shaped aviation safety, the disasters that changed aircraft design forever, and the remarkable innovations such as black boxes and advanced pilot training that have helped make flying one of the safest ways to travel today.
