How a seemingly impossible idea helped America win the space race.
Welcome to part 3 of our 4-part bonus podcast miniseries on the making of Behind the Wings PBS Season 6!
In this episode, Director Cray Novick and Host Tracy LaTourrette discuss behind-the-scenes stories while filming the legendary Super Guppy in El Paso, Texas. Join us as we talk about the space race, building the Super Guppy, our favorite stories from filming, the similarities this aircraft has with Frankenstein, and watching the odd airplane fly. This one is going to be cool!
