In aviation's pioneering days the best and bravest airmen pushed the boundaries of flight in all dimensions and attitudes. When airplanes went to war this exploratory art, now known as aerobatics, was called 'stunting' in breezy RFC slang. Initially forbidden as foolhardy, its importance for survival soon became paramount in dogfighting.
