    This looks like a collection of clips from the Internet Archive. "General Aviation - Fact or Fiction" is on the Moving Image Archive at [1], and the full version is in the Internet Archive at [2]. Most of the content is from the Internet Archive. What's the point?

    At least they don't slap their logo on public domain material, like Periscope Films does.

      BTW they don&#x27;t hide the source of the videos. Scrolling down on the video page links to the collection and source.
