BARNSTORMERS, WING-WALKING AND FLYING CIRCUSES

With no license being required to fly a plane, the offer to buy a plane for as little as $200 each attracted many ex-fighter pilots as well as civilians, who developed a new American pastime known as Barnstorming. Part entertainers, part thrill-seekers, the Barnstormers made their way across the country as solo acts and in groups called Flying Circuses. 24 pages of photos.
