Lincoln Beachey

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: Lincoln Beachey leaves aviation mark on Terre Haute "The online edition of the Tribune-Star Terre Haute, Indiana"
Frank Marrero, one of Beachey’s biographers, declared that Lincoln was the first pilot to fly upside down; the first in America to loop-the-loop and the first in the world to master the backward somersault; the first pilot to tail-slide on purpose; the first to figure out how to pull out of a tail-spin; the first to fly inside a building; the first to pick up a handkerchief from the ground with his wing tip; and the first man to fly an airplane over Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Toronto and several other American cities.
