The caption on this glass negative names the subject as Lt. O. Locklear, which most likely refers to Ormer Locklear, a pilot who gained fame for daredevil aerial stunts in silent films in the early 1920s. His work drew large crowds and grew out of his wartime flight training. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold pictures like this one to newspapers, and the name here comes from its unverified caption, so the sitter's identity is worth checking against other sources.
