When movies were still about people and booze, and not just things blowing up.

Then they take to their aircraft and blow things up.

This shot was done on a camera built in the earliest days of moviemaking, without any actual guide rails. GENIUS
-
But how? Is there any stuff I can read or watch about the making off?

The second still photograph down shows best how they did it. http://kinomachina.blogspot.jp/2015/06/cameramovement1.html?m=1 …

... okay, so there WERE guide rails. just not where I expected them.
-
Guide rails or no, it's an insane shot that people would try to talk you out of if you tried it even today.

my favorite shirt on that matter is "f--- you and your odds"
