Mid-Air repair of a missing wheel on a Curtis Jenny by a woman with BALLS!
No parachute or harness, just nerves of steel.
Respect due!

Unbelievable!

If you you had not seen the film you just would not believe it.  That lady had some real guts!

Fantastic!
There is a book on the Hollywood stunt flyers, can't remember the name, but it describes this stunt. Not to take anything from the lady, because she has guts, this stunt was done by several different people and appeared in a few movies in the late teens and early twenties. Still, it is great to see rather than just reading about it. There were a lot of crazy stunts done back then that totally will never be seen again. I wish there were more films like this.
