Folder: S.F. Fairs-G.G.I.E.-Batman. Permission to use this image must be obtained from the San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library: www.sfpl.org/permissions. Written on back: "BAT MAN SHOWS WINGS-These 'wings' of canvas, double thickness, ara all you need to glide down from 10,000 feet in the air-----if you know how. And how it is done is what Jimmy Goodwin, who holds License No. 1 from the Bureau of Aeronautics, intends to show thousands on Treasure Island Sunday afternoon. He will drop out of a plane nearly two miles straight up over the World's Fair and slide and glide down, opening a parachute at the last possible time. Notice the webbing between his legs and the way he controls the 'wings.' (Golden Gate International Exposition).
