“The Days of Real Sport,” by Clare Briggs.

Feb. 6, 1920: A ghastly story. Stuntman Earle (or Earl) Burgess  dies after performing stunts on the wing of a plane. He was clinging to the left landing skid when he became exhausted and let go. His body struck two high-tension wires, causing a short-circuit, and landed in a plowed field.  Burgess has one credit on imdb, “Sky Eye,” but it’s not clear if this is the film in which he was killed.
