Image Details

Original Daredevils – Vintage Aviation Photo, Los Angeles, 1925.

This black and white image shows daredevils Gladys Roy and Ivan Unger playing tennis on the wings of a Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” biplane in flight over Los Angeles. At 3,000 feet, rackets in hand, they perform a stunt equal parts balance, nerve, and showmanship.

The photo captures the height of the barnstorming era—a time when pilots and performers turned flight into spectacle. Roy was already known for walking wings blindfolded and dancing the Charleston mid-air.

This print works well in creative studios, home offices, or spaces with a sense of story and movement. Ideal alongside black and white aviation photography.

About the Artist

Gladys Roy, who gets her fun out of doing unusual things with airplanes, also likes to play tennis. Her and her opponent play a match on top of the plane as the pilot flies the plane at 3,000 feet. The only problem with this match is trying to retrieve a ball after it has bounced off the wing of the plane.

This photograph was captured on a historic 35MM film camera, which is part of it's beauty- so the archival look is presented well when printed, instead of ultra high-definition camera prints.
