The inbetween war period had several daredevils jumping freefall.
One of the Danish freefallers, mentioned as world-record holder some places,
died in 1935 during an attempt on recordbreaking 10.000 meter (32.800 feet). He died during the climb at 8.500 meter presumably by heart attack, but ice-clogging of his air-supply has been mentioned as another possibility.
For the attempt was used a Fokker DXXI, however pictures claming to be the last of him shows a Biplane wich should be a Gloster Gauntlet.
Anybody who will confirm the Gauntlet on the picture on
