The cable TV show, The Unbelievable, had a segment about a woman daredevil, Gladys Ingle, who walked on bi-plane wings without a parachute. Her most unbelievable stunt, in 1926, was jumping from one plane to another to change a tire in mid-air. This stunt was the result of a life-saving incident that occurred one day during practice. It was so successful, that she incorporated it into her act and did in 300 times! The stunt started by a wheel falling off an airplane. Ingle would strap a spare wheel on her back and rendezvous with the "stricken" plane. At 2,000 feet, she would climb to the top of the upper wing of the second plane and transfer to the bottom wing of the plane in distress. She would then climb down to the landing gear and install the wheel. Watch the short video. Gladys Ingle - Wikipedia
In another stunt, she would shoot arrows at targets while wing walking. When asked if she ever got scared, she said, "Nothing to it at all, nothing to it." She claimed to have been involved in several forced landings and plane crashes. One of her most daring stunts was to stand on the wing of an aircraft while it "looped the loop".
