Dick Grace, a plane and a barn

This is probably off-topic as the film was made in 1923 and isn't about WWI, but I can't think of a more knowledgeable forum to ask this question...

In His book "Crash Pilot" Dick Grace, a self styled crash engineer and aircraft stuntman, describes a crash for a Tom Mix film in which he crashed a plane into a barn. The challenge was to crash into the barn, all of the plane to go in and no bits to come out the other end. By careful planning he managed this (he must have been crazy as the barn was only just wider than the plane).

He describes the film as "Forest Ranger". The Silents Are Golden website suggests the film was actually called "Eyes of the Forest"

Anyway, where can I find out more about this? I'd like to see some pictures of this crash, either stills or movie. Anyone seen it? Anyone know what plane it was?
