• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Some new photos have been added to the Tallmantz section of this very good web site.
Paul Mantz was a visionary and skilled pilot dating back to the thirties. He pioneered the aircraft restoration and preservation movement after the war.
Along with Frank Tallman there legacy was behind the scenes filming and stunt work with the airplane themed movies we grew up with.
I remember visiting Movieland of the Air with my parents in the sixties.
I regularly check out Aerovintage for updates to the B-25 section.

I have loved perusing those photos. Many of those same aircraft of course are now owned by Kermit Weeks (either on display, under restoration, or stored pending future restoration), while some others, as noted, were sold to other museums and individuals around the country and the world. The Tallmantz Boeing Model 100, which Kermit Weeks owns, is very near completion of a long-term restoration and should be flying this year (painted in its original factory (civilian) paint scheme).
