EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, EPW037626 from the Aerofilms Collection at Historic England, showcases the thrilling art of wing walking in the early aviation era. The daring figure in the foreground defies gravity as he walks on the wings of an Agro 504K biplane, flying high above the earth. The year is 1932, and the scene is set against a backdrop of clear blue skies and picturesque clouds. Wing walking was a popular form of entertainment during the interwar period, showcasing the bravery and skill of aviators. The practice involved walking on the wings of a moving aircraft, often while performing acrobatic maneuvers. This photograph captures the essence of this exhilarating activity, with the wing walker's determined gaze and the wind whipping through his hair. Despite the apparent danger, wing walking was considered safer than it may seem. The wings of biplanes were wider and more stable than those of modern aircraft, making them easier to walk on. Additionally, wing walkers wore specialized shoes with cleats to increase their grip on the wing surface. This photograph, though slightly damaged, is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. It invites us to imagine the rush of adrenaline and the sense of freedom that the wing walker must have felt as he danced on the wings of this historic biplane.
