Below, is Superman’s “flying pan” which was used by George Reeves in “The Adventures Of Superman”, that many of us grew up watching. After a few falls from wire suspension, one which was fairly serious, the pan was developed for Reeves to lay in and the tilting and rolling action was controlled by a long lever.
In this clip, Noel Neil (who played Lois Lane) talks about the flaying pan and some of the problems Reeves had “flying”.
On the top image, if you look at his leg, you can see it under his suit. Also shown is a drawing of the device in use and a shot of that actual body pan which is now in the Superman Museum in, wait for it…Metropolis, Illinois. Enjoy and Share! -Bobby Ellerbee
