US Army Air Service Signal Corps Stunt Daredevil Wingwalker Ormer Locklear Leather Fleece Lined Painted Long Coat

This is a very rare item from the estate of Ormer Locklear, the acknowledge "father" of the daredevil wingwalker stunt men of the early 20th century.

This is a very high quality fleece lined mid-thigh flight coat featuring period artwork of Ormer Locklear atop of the upper wing of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane.

He served two years in the US Army Air Service Signal Corps during WWI, and became a professional stunt pilot and barnstormer after he was discharged in 1919.  He was very highly paid and perfected a number of very complex stunts in and on top of his aircraft, including transferring from one plane to another in flight.  You can read some of his history here.  He was killed in an aerial stunt (piloting) while filming a movie at night.  He was apparently blinded by the strong lights and crashed in 1920.

This is a close-up of the artwork. The coat measures 20 across the chest (about a size 40), 18 inches across the shoulders and 18 inches on the inseam of the arm.

The condition is near excellent, excepting some routine wear on the leather and some slight crazing of the paint from age.
