The 1920s were some wild times! People did crazy stunts back then. Aviation stunts were pretty popular I guess. In 1926 a ten year old dancer named Mildred Unger {1915-1975} did the Charleston on a flying plane! That sure wouldn't "fly" today, but nearly a century ago crazy stunts were a big thing! Her father was a balloonist.
