William Alban Ulman Jr. (November 6, 1907 – August 22, 1979) was a film screenwriter, magazine writer and U.S. Army officer. He is best known today for his involvement in the photographic record of D-Day. A persistent legend of D-Day is that important footage of the landings was dumped into the English Channel. Maj. W.A. Ulman is mentioned in at least two memos regarding film of the landings and as such has historically been considered a "suspect" in the lore of D-Day.
