[WWI] Movie "Death Hunt" Brisfit????

[Brad & Merville]

You are correct sir.  No F2b was used.  It was a monoplane.  May flew a Canadian Airways Bellanca CF-AKI for that particular job.

Cheers
Brad

  Hi Tom,

  The film you mention  ostensibly tells the story to capture one Albert Johnson,a murderer, in Canada's biggest manhunt in 1931-32. He was known as the Mad Trapper of Rat River and the Mounties pulled in Wilfred"Wop" May(almost Manfred's 81st victim) to help in the seach. But as far as I know no Brisfit was ever used and in fact it was a monoplane, probably a Fairchild. It's just Hollywood again making a balls up of history. 'Nuff said.

  Don't know wheere the movie F2B came from.

  Cheers,

  Joel

    Watched bits of a Charles Bronson movie Death Hunt about a manhunt in the
    Youkon. Featured a guy trying to track him down in a F.2B painted red with
    cream wings on skis no less.

    Anyone know the history or where abouts of this nice flying bird?
