<p><b>Ormer Leslie "Lock" Locklear</b> (October 28, 1891 – August 2, 1920) was an American daredevil <a href="/wiki/Stunt_pilot" class="mw-redirect" title="Stunt pilot">stunt pilot</a> and film actor. </p><p>His popular flying circus caught the attention of Hollywood, and he starred in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Great_Air_Robbery" title="The Great Air Robbery">The Great Air Robbery</a></i> (1919), a screenplay about the mid-air piracy of a US airmail plane. In his next film, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Skywayman" title="The Skywayman">The Skywayman</a></i>, the plane crashed during a climactic dive, when the lighting team supposedly failed to douse the lights on cue, so Locklear was dazzled and flew blindly into the ground, dying instantly with his co-pilot Milton "Skeets" Elliott.
