In the beginning as a co-pilot, Frank is typing in his fake name, Frank Taylor, on a blank check that he will add a Pan Am logo? Where did he get blank checks that could pass for a corporate check, different size, different paper?
-- What would Joan say? --
The checks he used were the ones his father got him (whe he got the $25 on a checking account). He covers his pre printed name with the Pan Am logo.
If those checks differ from company checks, then I have no idea. I'd chalk it up to either liberties taken by filmmakers, OR perhaps there was no huge difference between personal checks and company checks back in the mid 60's...?
Its mentioned in the post script that he helped banks with security of their checks. Perhaps one of his suggestions was that corporate checks be a different size that personal checks.
