the Curtis JN-4 "Jenny" cruised at 40-60 mph, slow enough for wing-walkers to stand despite airflow. this photo has Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy miming a tennis match.
Gladys died at 25 years old in 1927 when she distractedly walked into the spinning propellor of a plane on the ground.
Duuumb ways to die 🎶
So many dumb ways to die-e-e 🎶
She was probably starting at her phone
Yeah we had strict rules in the Army about never, ever walking around or behind the tail of a helicopter. You always, always, always walk around the front. Guess why we had that rule?
Gladys was apparently 30 when she died, having been born in 1896. Such a fascinating person for having lived such a short life.
That escalated quickly. Not the plane, though.
And when it inevitably leads to an accident: See?! Airplanes aren't safe! Can't even play ping pong on it!
Isn't pingpong played on a table? This is regular tennis, just on a small field! This is insane! Pingpong would be ok though
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Cocaine is the opium of the masses.
Back when people knew how to party!
There's always that guy
Ba ba ba bum! Two, Three, Four!
