I wonder how Elmo Williams felt when his brother Burch was killed in the Mid Air between the Se5 and Camera helicopter durring the filming of Zeppelin???
As for Roger Corman, well i best not go there, many i have spoken with, including the person who sent me that image and Derrek Piggot who was also flying at the time blame Corman's impatience and temper for the crash 
As for the legal battle after wards, well thats another story

Indeed i'm pretty sure that the credits at the end of 'Flight Of The Phoenix' include a dedication to Paul Mantz......
