Barnstorming pilots 1927

(General Photographic Agency)

 No idea what the real story is, but preliminary research seems to indicate that is MARSHALL's grandfather doing his signature "Flag" trick after his usual wing walking act. Always a crowd favorite.

 Actually, this just in; It is aerial acrobat F. Schindler, notorious for his foolhardy stunts, practicing one of his tricks listing out of the vertical, from (probably) a Klemm Kl 25 piloted by Richard Perlia.

  1. I believe it’s a Klemm aircraft. Possibly a
    Klemm KL25D. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klemm

  4. Soon adapted by other flyers as a way to dry out after encountering heavy rainstorms.
