Airplane Wing Walk -- A trained pilot, Ormer Locklear became a famous stuntman by mistake in 1918 when he walked the wing of his plane (whilst in mid-air) to fix an engine problem. He went on to become a famous wingwalking stuntman in Hollywood afterwards, but died in 1920 while performing his infamous stunt when the plane crashed to the ground.
