It flew in the Gary Cooper movie, Cloak and Dagger. I'm guessing it was a Tallmantz Aircraft. Any details?

Talk about a late reply! :o

It was the Tallmantz ship painted up in RAF livery. Here is a screen grab from the movie.

1946 is way too early to be a Tallmantz bird. More than likely a Mantz supplied bird.

I probably more correctly should have said..It's possibly a Mantz bird.
Mantz purchased UC-67 39-36 in 1945 and sold her off in 1947. I looked through
the IMDB credits for "Cloak and Dagger" and Mantz is not listed. I also looked through
Aerovin's pages dedicated to Mantz and Tallman and did not find Mantz credited to the
film either...tho, could be a missed detail in both cases.
Thanks Kdmoo for the screengrab, always nice to see a Dragon in another life! :D
