Wing-walking displays were frequently a part of barnstorming displays and air shows in the 1920s, and the Curtis JN-4 "Jenny," was a prime workhorse of the post WW1 barnstorming and air show circuits. The Jenny cruised at 40 to 60 miles per hour, allowing the wing-walkers to stand on the wing despite the air flow, although the performers were billed as death-defying dare-devils..

The image is a postcard image taken in 1925 by an unidentified photographer. The wing walkers were reportedly only miming a tennis match on the upper wing of the plane. The picture shows Ivan Unger (foreground) and Gladys Roy, who were well-known members of the "13 Black Cats" wing-walkers in the 1920s.

Roy customarily wore her high-laced boots while showing her dare-devil specialties of wing-walking and parachuting. She was killed in 1927, at the age of 25, when she apparently distractedly walked into the spinning propeller of a plane on the ground. From Minneapolis, one of her brothers was a pilot and two other brothers also worked in aviation.

That WTC shot is immense. Very atmospheric. 👍

 

[Bopop4]

Wow, those are awesome.

Knew it was you without ever looking at the avatar by the time I got to the AC-130.

@GregTheStig - ALL those pics are amazing.

Today you could not see more than 500m and it is not fog, nor is it caused by the steelworks.

Here are a few more I found since last night.

Holy frickin' hell.

Is that Oasis picture real?! Amazing how the desert has surrounded it for years but never covered it.

Looks like Waw an Namus volcano in Libya.

There's a lot here, so I'll just leave the link. Wish I had a time machine.

^ Photo with the dark atmosphere with large screen.

Is it common that it's that dark? Similar to the factory photo Grayfox posted earlier? What's happening or what is the cause of it?

Smog in Beijing. It's that bad.

That's.... pretty depressing.

Is it just me or does "The Shard" look really evil?

 

[Flex0r]

Like this you mean?

 

[Pupik]

That's.... pretty depressing.

We're all unique; except for those ten brands which essentially define 90% of our food, grocery, and grooming lives.

Of course, it's even more depressing to think that six companies comprise 90% of the media in America.

On that note: One thousand hip-hop artist names, categories.
