Lincoln Beachey, probably the most famous man in the world, now almost forgotten! The Great Beachey showed, you didn't have to dress like a bum to fly.
Shame about what appears to be a truly horrible waist knit replacement on that USN jacket. Just goes to show you may be able to marry ScarJo but you still can't have everything.
He was on local TV so I saw him a lot. He played before face masks. I'd like to see a game in vintage equipment. I think it would be a much less rough and daring game. Some people might like things as they are; but I think "good hits," where one player tries to take the head off another, aren't really that entertaining. While I'm on the subject, I don't appreciate "tackling the ball" either (Thank you George Allen).
I think some guy will get killed on the field eventually and that'll be the beginning of the end (unless America's mothers kill the game first). Look at boxing and horse racing.
He was very well-known. His daughter married David Nelson and appeared on "The Ozzie and Harriet Show." I grew up in the NY area, and I remember my dad talking about him.
Tom Hardy in what looks like an Aviation Leathercraft.
Gary Cooper in another sheepskin. Anyone know the type? I couldn't quite pin it down. It is very 'Irvin' like but none of the images I've seen show zips at the wrists.
