Large 1926 of aerial stunt man Lt. Leon Collot as he successfully flew through the lowest arch of the Eiffel Tower but seconds later snagged a telegraph wire and was killed in this very stunt! A powerful and poignant image in nice shape overall that is one of the first we have ever seen. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption as well, the photo has some creasing and a bit of wear at the top border but it looks pretty nice overall.
