FIRST EVER IN-FLIGHT MOVIE IN THE 1920’s

1920s: the first ever in-flight movie

Before digital screens and a huge catalog of movies for passengers
to choose from, in-flight entertainment looked rather different too.

This fascinating photo above was captured on 6 April 1925 and
shows a group of men gathered around a single screen about
to watch the first ever in-flight movie. It’s thought that one of the
earliest films to be shown up high was The Lost World, a silent
adventure movie adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel
of the same name.
