The narration is also 1933....."You'll like to stop at Memphis where you can listen to darkies loading cotton on the docks and humming "Ole Man River"......

Historical-accuracy..?? or Historical-revision...?? What's your pleasure? Since it's not a modern view of air travel but a historical view of air-tavel-advertising, I view it as educational, but only historical if it's held to accuracy.... and do not view it as a statement of modern values, so I am not offended. I don't know how I'd feel if it were my grandfather loading the cotton. (Probably begrudgingly.)

I almost fell off my chair when I heard what I thought I heard. I rewound it and listened again. Decided it probably was not what I heard and watched on.
