Clark, Hollywood's veteran stunt pilot of twenty-one years, risked lik ; neck making scenes for "The Flying Deuces," Boris Morros* production starring Laurel; and Hardy.

According to the pilot, airplane tactics in "The Flying Deuces" 'depicted the impossible. Of course, tricks of photography were employed for many shots,, but Frank was willing to try anything for the RIvO Radio comedy. As a movie stunt pilot, he was the first man to change planes m miidair without aid of a ladder. He was the first to slide back from the cockpit to the tail of his' ship and operate it from there. He.-was the first to hang by the tail skids and l hen climb back to his seat, a feat he never tried a second time.
