Gladys
Ingle was a member of the 13 Black Cats, a
barnstorming troupe in the 1920s. She was a “wing walker.” In this film, she
shows her fearlessness in a classic barnstorming fashion to save an airplane
that has lost one of its main wheels. Ingles is shown with a replacement
wheel being strapped to her back and then off she goes as “Up She Goes,” a
duet from the era, provides the soundtrack. In the video, Ingles transfers
herself from the rescue plane to the one missing its main gear tire. She
then expertly works herself down to the undercarriage, only a few feet from
a spinning prop, and replaces the missing gear tire.
