A 1999 Canadian made-for-TV children's special movie, "Dead Aviators" (airing on U.S. cable TV as "Restless Spirits"), uses the mystery of the disappearance of "The White Bird" as the key plot device. A young girl, who struggles with her pilot-father's death in a plane crash years before, visits her grandmother in Newfoundland. While there, she encounters the ghosts of Nungesser and Coli, whose restless spirits constantly relive their own unheralded 1927 crash in a nearby pond. The girl decides to help the pair move onto the afterlife by assisting them in rebuilding their airplane and completing their flight so they may be released and, by doing so, works through her own emotional distress over her father's test flight death. The depiction of "The White Bird" and Nungesser's crest and dialog references to Nungesser's wartime achievements are very consistent with some published accounts.
