In the early days of flight, theater audiences thrilled to the spectacle of aerial stunt flyers filmed by equally daring cameramen. Barrel rolls, tail spins and crash landings highlight these three rare, classic short films from the era when the exploits of barnstorming pilots were the talk of the town. Air Maniacs, a slapstick comedy short from 1933, loosely follows the reckless adventures of a hungover pilot (played by Frank Clarke) who resents being roused from his nap by the nagging narrator, venting his anger in the air. In addition to Clarke it stars Vince Barnett, Ronnie Rondell, and was directed by Nate Watt.
