Its actual completion struck many observers as something of a miracle, given the tumultuous obstacles that stood in its way - obstacles worthy of the most intense dramatic saga. Via a combination of interviews and archival footage, History Channel documentary Concorde Alpha-Delta: An Intrepid Journey explores the events that brought the Concorde to its final resting place at the Intrepid Air, Sea and Space Museum on the West Side of Manhattan; it also discusses the individuals who helped design the craft and bring it aloft for several decades, and the emotional connection that they experienced with the vehicle. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
