- TriviaFamous stunt flyer Paul Mantz used a Thimble-Drome Flying Tiger model to plan air action scenes for his TV series "Rogue for Hire" to be released in Fall 1959. "Unfortunately, "Rogue for Hire" was not "his" series (although he did stunt flying for the few episodes that were filmed) The true story is that Rogue for Hire was one of a number of projects by the company Gross-Kasne. In the 1950's Jack J Gross and Philip Kasne made some low budget feature films, and had a string of successful television series behind them, several starring Thomas Mitchell, another being The Lone Wolf with Louis Hayward. In 1957 they became more ambitious making Adventures of a Jungle Boy and African Patrol both on location in Africa. Originally Rogue for Hire was to have been called by the imitative title Have Plane Will Travel. Filming began in 1959 with English star Jerome Thor in Hollywood, the plan had been to make this an American/British co-production. Movie stunt pilot Paul Mantz contributed some sequences, about which it was reported in June 1959 that "several episodes have been completed." It does seem six were actually finished. The script for one episode, Operation Jaguar, survives, but the rest was lost.
