The Skywayman is a lost 1920 silent film directed by James P. Hogan and produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation. This serial starred aviator Ormer Locklear and is known today as the production in which Locklear was killed while performing a night time stunt. This film was probably conceived as a serial but due to Locklear's death Fox telescoped the remaining footage into a feature film.[1] [2]
In Hollywood, a 1980 television series on silent era Hollywood, actresses Leatrice Joy and Locklear's fiance Viola Dana recall Locklear and the making of this film.
