Perfect Flight celebrates "A Century of Flight" by recreating the Francesco Agello's Record of speed' in Desenzano sul Garda (Italy), October 23th 1934.
The Monoplane Idro-Racer Macchi Castoldi Mc.72 is ready. The chronometry officials are present, there is a slight wind rippling the water surface. The sky is covered and the weather begins to change only after 1:00 P.M. At 1:50 P.M. everybody takes his place and the pilot gets into his plane. At 1:56 P.M. he takes off after an interminable run up. Visibility is far from excellent. For turning Agello takes the Montichiari church dome as orientation point. With a baffing speed of 709 km/h he makes four passes and establishes a record that will never be beaten by any seaplane with piston engine.
