In 1926, Gladys Ingle saved stunt pilot Art Goebel by replacing a tire that fell off his plane during a stunt

Gabriel Pettier

@stux and i can’t believe we have such good footage of that feat, incredible 🤯 .

@tshirtman

I believe the shots from a third plane showing her transferring from plane to plane, and the shot of her changing the tire were actual footage of the event as it unfolded.

Other shots, like her strapping on the tire on the ground, were most likely shot later and edited into the actual footage of the event.
