Re: Tennis

Have you all seen the old movie with these guys? The pictures look like they are stills from the film. It might have been a short that they ran in newsreels at the movies??? Haven't seen it for a while. howard

Re: Tennis

I saw some film of the Thirteen Black Cats in a little film booth at the Oshkosh airshow in about 1986...but the EAA library was unable to locate any reference to it some years after this, so I have never seen it again.
It was proper b&w film footage, and included plane-to-plane transfers sans parachute and also a small girl doing the Charleston on the top of a hot-air balloon.

Re: Tennis

Yup, that's the one. Saw it several years ago on TV. They were interviewing the lady who was the little girl on the balloon. Can't remember the context though...
