Trivia In April 1925, on a London-Paris flight by Imperial Airways, The Lost World (1925) became the first film to be shown to airline passengers. As film stock of the era was nitrate and highly flammable, this was a risky undertaking on a wood and fabric-hulled plane, a converted WWI bomber, the Handley-Page 0 400. See more »
