Rather unusual film sponsored by the united nations about why it's still safe to fly the airplane nowadays, Why, you ask, does the United Nations need to sponsor a film like this? Apparently the U.N. Had its own flight safety division around this time, I guess because of all the hijacks and air crashes. Hosted by Alistair Cooke, the film is a fun look at the air transport procedures of the day.
