The unique and untold story of Hagerstown's aviation past unfolds in this new documentary film. With many never before released images and an extensive collection of rare local film footage, this documentary is sure to peak the interest of Fairchild and Hagerstown aviation enthusiasts. This film chronicles the effect on Hagerstown of nearly 70 years of aviation manufacturing. It begins in 1916 with G.M. Bellanca and his design of airplanes for the Maryland Pressed Steel Company located on Pope Avenue. Closure of the company led an employee, Lew Reisner to begin the Reisner Aero Service in 1921 that became the Kreider-Reisner Aircraft Company when local shoe manufacturer Ammon Kreider joined the company in 1925. The two produced the famous Challenger series of airplanes before being purchased by Sherman Fairchild in 1929.

The Great Depression and World War II secured a permanent bond between the community of Hagerstown and Fairchild for five decades. This period saw the production of many memorable aircraft such as the F-24, the PT-19 Trainer, the C-82 Packet, and C-119 Flying Boxcar as well as the last great airplane to roll out of the factory in Hagerstown: the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Hagerstown's connection with aviation does not end with manufacturing, but lives on in the commuter airline business that still serves it to this day. The Hagerstown Commuter started by native son Richard (Dick) Henson in 1962 went on to transform the industry, becoming the Allegheny Commuter and then the Henson Piedmont Regional Airline. 3-Disc Set: 2 DVDs and 1 CD.
