aerial acrobatic antics, deciding he had better quit while he was ahead. During this work he devoted considerable time to the development of parachutes. He deserves much credit for originating a number of features that are still used in modern parachutes. All of this was done before the Army Air Service had accepted parachutes for their aviators. During the 1920's, Air Service officers visited Campbell on several occasions for demonstrations of his chutes. 
During his exhibition work Campbell had also done a lot of piloting and became a very expert aviator. Although others copied his aerial act, Campbell always remained "tops" in his field. He filled over 400 exhibition engagements in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and made a fabulously unknown number of parachute jumps under every condition. He was first to jump clear of a plane during loops, Immelman turns and tail spins, first to jump at altitudes under 200 feet, first to do wing walking and perform trapeze stunts from wing skids and landing gear, first to change from plane to train and return to plane, and first to change from one plane to another without use of a ladder. He did countless aerial acts of all kinds for numerous movies for Marshall Neilan, Cecil B. DeMille, Katherine McDonald and the old Flying "A" Studios.
In 1923 Campbell added new thrills when he started racing cars and doing stunt driving, but aviation was still in his blood and he kept dreaming of an airplane he would like to build. After completing plans to his satisfaction, Campbell obtained the backing of the R. O. Bone Company of Los Angeles in July, 1928, and in 35 days the first experimental plane was ready for flight tests. Called the "Golden Eagle," the plane was a 2-place, side-by-side dual-control, externally braced high-wing monoplane with a 28-foot wing span and weighed 1,050 pounds fully loaded. It was powered with a 60 h.p. Anzani engine. Campbell flew it three times the first day without a single adjustment. A second plane was completed thirteen days later. A distinct success from the
