Goodyear 629.1 "The performer is an airplane equipped with Goodyear Airwheels, great balloon tires, so large that the wheel disappears, leaving only axle and tire. Thus shod, the plane makes breath-taking landings first on one wheel, then on the other, then travels alternately on the right and left wheels. It makes bouncing landings—that is two-point landings on the front wheels only, then takes off for a short distance, landing again with the full shock of land- ing absorbed by the tires. The depend- ability and power of airplane brakes is also shown when the plane is held steady with- out movement except for a lifting of the tail with the motor at full throttle. Ground loops . . . are shown safely made." Pro- ducer jh-sh Parade of comic balloons. ISmin 16-si-loan 35-si-nf-loan 1930? Goodyear 629.1 "Staged by R. H. Macy & Company, New York City. . .
