Mantz and film "Top of the World"
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 8:07 am
A new Ebay acquisition shows Paul Mantz during the filming of the 1955 film Top of the World in April 1952. It shows B-25H N1203 in the background.
The back of the photo reads, as far as I can tell:
We just landed at Big Delta airport & had our picture taken...look kinda heavy don't you think but not cold...Cort
Also,
On Warner Bros picture "Top of the World" April -1952- Fairbanks, Alaska
Cort Johnson, Bill Clothier, Paul Mantz, Poneroy (?)? of W.B.
Cort Johnson was Mantz's right hand man, both a pilot and mechanic. Bill Clothier was the cinematographer for the film. For a little more information (not much) on the film, see also http://www.aerovintage.com//topworld.htm.
