Dimpfel Royal was born in 1897 and fought for Germany in WWI. After the war he learned gymnastics and soon took those skills to the sky.
His stunt? Hanging from a flying plane by his teeth.
When the Nazi party took control of Germany in 1930 Dimpfel was forced to perform only in Germany. A trip to Belgium resulted in him being labeled a traitor.
He sent this postcard he was trying to pull off his biggest trick ever - escaping to America.
