World's Fastest Plane Breaks Pre-War Record

The transcript discusses the use of a high-speed movie camera to capture the speed of an aircraft over a measured mile, as human eyes are not fast enough to track it. Group Captain HK Wilson conducts a test run, and later trials show a British plane achieving 606 miles per hour, breaking the pre-war record by 136 miles. This highlights new achievements in aviation and man's mastery of the sky.
