Tallmantz Photo Gallery #3


John Voss shot this great photo of B-25H N1203 at Orange County in late 1958.
Mantz purchased this FB-1D, the old Dave Weyler Bendix racer, in 1957. (John Voss)
This Stinson L-1 was a Mantz cameraship, one that carried forth to the Tallmantz era. It is now owned by Kermit Weeks. (John Voss)
Not sure at this point if the this Vampire jet was owned by Mantz but it certainly appears that it was. He is known to have owned two others from the same civil registration block. (John Voss)
This PB4Y-2 Privateer, N7683C, was parked at the southeast end of the Orange County Airport in 1958. Was it owned or affiliated by Mantz? (John Voss)
There were also a bunch of PBYs out at the southeast end. Were they affiliated with Mantz at all? Several ended up being used (and destroyed) in the filming of Tora Tora Tora in 1968. This example, N5591V, was used to support the filming of Catch-22 in 1969 in Mexico, though it was neither owned or operated by Tallmantz at that time. (John Voss)
