Lieutenant Moreland entered naval service in October, 1943 ' as an aviation cadet in the Navy V-5 program.’ In November, 1945, he was designated a naval aviator after completing the prescribed flight training pro- gram at Corpus Christi, Texas.

I asked Robotham how he was able to break into the game. “By watching and listening,” he explaine i. “The stunt men used to be a tight little group. When they | got a newcomer into a fight, they | really could beat up on him, in- stead of faking it. But now they're ; not so strict. If they like a guy, | | they'll show him some of the} tricks they have learned.” Robotham admitted that staging brawls is one of the easiest jobs for stunt men.

Nowadays when | you see a horse fall on the screen, i it’s an animal that has been | trained to fall.

He is a rarity, since he has never broken a bone. “It helps to have been an ath j lete,” be observed. “But I have | seen some athietés get burt be | cause they didn’t Know hew to do | stunts.

The cam- | era angle is what creates the illu- sion. Also, the stunt man on the receiving end has to react as i though he is hit. That's what | makes it seem real. The stunt men have picked up some work from the budding tele- | vision film industry, but they still talk longingly of the lush days of the past. Two spectacular stunts are generally brought up in their conversations. One was the running jump Cliff Lyons took on horseback off a 70- foot bluff into a stream of water for “Jesse James.” The other was | @ running dive by Paul Stader, who sailed 70 feet off a cliff into} the ocean for “Hurricane.” Both ef them lived through the stunts and are still active in the business.
