The story of famous pictures...Tennis players on a special court...

As you maybe know, I absolutely adore photography. I've decided to explore the story of worldwide famous photographs...You have surely seen this photo somewhere...:


The picture was taken on 25 October 1925. The photograph shows two players - Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy. Yes, one of the players is a woman! Gladys Roy was a wing walker, who enjoyed aviation and stunts in space. The woman and Ivan Unger were members of an aerial stunt group called the Flying Black Hats.

Gladys Roy

wing walking

The daredevils are playing tennis on the wings of a flying plane. In the middle, there is a kind of net. In the picture we can also make out the players' helmets and old-fashioned tennis rackets. In the background we can notice tiny buildings, roads and trees. In fact, the picture was taken above Los Angeles, California. Franc Tomac was the pilot flying the plane at 3,000 feet! Even though the players seem to have their feet attached to the wings of the aircraft, it looks sooooo scary!
The stuntmen quickly discovered that the only problem with playing tennis on a plane is that when your ball is out, it's really out! ;)
