Tallmantz Aviation Collection

This is a collection of movie and television screenplays, which were in the possession of Frank Tallman, a stunt pilot who worked in Hollywood during the 1960s and 1970s, and miscellaneous articles and brochures. In 1961, Tallman formed Tallmanz Aviation with Hollywood stunt pilot Paul Mantz, based at Orange County Airport (now John Wayne Airport) in Southern California.

They provided pilots, camera planes, and a small fleet of antique and historic aircraft (along with background models of aircraft and ships) for movie and television productions. These screenplays are ones which he was pilot for or acted as an advisor for.
