What Scottish nobleman was the subject of a 1934 British short documentary and was the first man to fly over Mount Everest?
Wings Over Everest Wings over Everest is a 1934 British short documentary film directed by Geoffrey Barkas and Ivor Montagu. It won an Academy Award in 1936 for Best Short Subject (Novelty). It described the 1933 Houston-Westland expedition, in which Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton, otherwise known as Lord Clydesdale, piloted a single-engined biplane on 3 April 1933, just clearing Everest's southern peak by a few feet, having been caught in a powerful downdraught. The film used mixture of real footage of Everest from the record-breaking flight and theatrically produced scenes using the actual people rather than actors.

Worsley accompanied Ernest Shackleton in the "James Caird" from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, South Georgia, and made the overland crossing with him to Stromness whaling station.
