The Aero Vintage Tallmantz pages are nearing completion. Check them out at http://www.aerovintage.com/tallmantz.htm . There's a lot of information on these pages, mostly coming from several old and full files I've been keeping for many years. I've got a few more pages to do and the ones that are now available need a bit more refining and probably a few corrections.

For now I'm looking for input and stories from anyone who worked for Tallmantz, or Mantz, or Tallman, through the years. These will be incorporated onto a "Tallmantz People" page and also "personal recollections" about the company. I could use photos of people from that time also.

Check it out!

Great website and very interesting subject, I look forward to the "coming soons", Thanks Aerovin!

I was watching the Cagney movie, The Bride Came COD(1941) on Turner recently and realized in the scene at the end of the movie, Paul Mantz is
on screen for a few moments as the second pilot to the brides dad. He's not listed in the acting credits of the movie, but IMDB has corrected that omission...although not a huge one..he had one line.

I saw Frank Tallman fly hi sGrumman Duck at the Mojave air races in 1974 and to this day I can say without reservation that ,that was the most impressive aerobatic routine that I have ever seen,bar none.It had to be seen to be believed.I feel privelidged to be able to say that I saw this in person.I have talked to various persons who have worked for him thru the years and not too many had kind things to say about him. I didnt know him personally but I can say that he was one hell of a fine pilot. Tim.

How old would Frank Tallman and Paul Mantz be if alive today? Just curious.

According to the bio's supplied by Aerovin's site, Mantz was born 1903, Tallman 1919.
