The Tribune photo, dated August 18, 1947, has the following caption on the back: "Look, no hands! George Waltz, aerial cowboy, waves his scarf to crowd after riding his biplane through a series of loops, rolls, and other stunts. He parachuted off." The handwritten notation on the back identifies the pilot as Bill Lear Jr. The plane is flying a few feet above the ground, with Lear at the controls and Waltz standing on the center of the upper wing.
