Default RE: C-119 Flying Boxcar ARF

AHHH...Paul Mantz was the pilot. Frank Tallman's name kept going through my mind, but I knew it wasn't him. He was killed because his plane didn't clear a ledge coming out of a cloud bank.

I remembered reading about the death of Paul Mantz in one of the aviation publications at the time it happened, but had only heard that the skid was the cause of the accident. I'll check into the biogarphy. I'm sure it's intresting reading.

Thanks,

Rod
