The footage shows what it was like to fly on one of the early Wright craft, with Wilbur at the helm. The clip opens with the launching, then the plane climbs, levels off, and passes over the flight grounds."

The first half of the film is surprisingly effective, especially for a no-budget 16mm training film in the sixties. Beware: Not for the sqeamish. A big cut above any other driver training film, mostly due to the fact that the central character is a police officer.

Taken from wikipedia: The Green Hornet Strikes Again! (1941) is a Universal movie serial based on the The Green Hornet radio series by George W. Trendle.
