It features original footage of aircraft from the First World War being prepared for take off and in flight. This was used as reference material for the video produced by Peter Jackson for the film, light and sound show for the Over the Front exhibit at the Australian War Memorial.

This video is played in between the audio visual shows of Over the Front: the Great War in the air.

    It seems to be running at the correct speed when I view it. It's possible a problem with the player or the connection. Sometimes if the connection has a bit of glitch the player can run faster to try to catch up.

    There is also a chance it is just the way the footage looks. Back then the cameras were generally hand cranked which leads to speed variations in the film. When translated to modern film processing methods the speed fluctuations remain.
