Synopsis
Journey back to a time when Sikorsky flying boats of Inter-Island Airways ruled the territory's skies. At the end of World War II, the business climate changes abruptly with the arrival of Aloha Airlines. Learn how Hawaiian and Aloha Airlines drove each other to the brink of extinction, how a social revolution transformed the airlines, and how the airlines in turn changed Hawaii forever.
