Full title reads: “Berlin. The Duck Plane - aviation’s latest! The wings are at the rear, engines are under the wings, and it can fly backwards.“
Berlin, Germany.
This odd looking plane is pushed out of its hanger. Closer shots as the pilot climbs into the cockpit. The engines are turned over by a mechanic.
The plane taxis away across the airfield and takes off. Shots of plane in flight - it looks very weird.
