Ashland Times Gazette Friday July 21, 1939
Nine death-defying stunts will be featured during the program to be presented at Ashland Airport tomorrow afternoon by Happy Jack Miller and his Death Dodgers.
The program is to start at 3 p.m. One of the major features of the afternoon will be the 10,000 foot leap by Jimmy Goodwin, Well known bat-wing expert. Goodwin will step out of an airplane and hurdle earthward at 150 miles an hour with only his bat-wings to guide and control his flight to within 150 feet of the ground when he will open his parachute to land.
Miss Billie Archer, Happy Jack's wife is scheduled to ride the cowl of her husband's car when he crashes through a blazing wall.
ANDREWS TO CRASH
Ardell Andrews, local daredevil, has been added to Happy Jack Miller's Death Dodgers troupe for the show at the airport tomorrow.
Andrews will crash through a flaming wall with a motorcycle. The wall will be constructed of one-inch boards, with a lattice packed with excelsior, saturated with gasoline, and fired. Andrews only protection will be a helmet and goggles.
