In good, lightly used condition with some small whitish spots on the bottom, could probably be cleaned off. Please note that this flag has a blank shield so a specific organization/department’s emblem can be added on. Measures 3′ by 4′ and features fringe.

Most are pre WWII. During WWII he was stationed on Gaum Island and was trained as an aircraft mechanic. After the war he went to work for Paul Mantz and became his head mechanic. The company was located in Burbank, CA then moved to Orange County Airport (which became John Wayne International Airport). Years later Frank Tallman joined Paul and they ran a very busy company. They supplied vintage planes for many movies and documentaries. In 1965 Paul was killed in a plane crash during the making of “Flight of the Phoenix”. A few years Frank opened “Movieland of the Air” and continued to supply planes to the movie industry. Soon after, my father retired with 42 years of service to the company. So, to make a long story short, I need to sell everything. There is a wealth of information in this collection. I cannot guarantee that everything is complete due to the fact that they were used to maintain and build vintage planes. My photos will show all of the defects I see. I will do my best to make it right. All pages checked, and the book is complete.
