daring feats
Courageous acts performed
Daring feats are bold, risky actions requiring courage and skill—the stuff of adventure stories and circus acts.
The phrase emphasizes spectacular achievement against danger: The documentary captured the daring feats of early aviators.
Feats alone can be impressive; daring feats suggest someone risked life or limb.
