Yes, Alethea, Hangar #5 at Pearson, IMO, was probably a great spot for aviation related movie shoots and chances are it was used for a lot more than the big ones we know about. Big old hangar-vintage planes.
IMO, DM was only 19 or so when the hangar became a backdrop for the more risque photography. I agree that the models shouldn't be dragged thru the mud, however, IMO, the fact that DM even went down that path is what I find interesting. CM and WM just don't seem to portray themselves as two men that would be cool with having the Millardair name tarnished with any type of




:soft, hard or anything in between. IMO, CM/WM would not think that the money gained would outweigh any loss of their reputation.
JMHO, it shows me a couple important things about DM. 1) that at 19, DM was not really concerned about the consequences of his actions-allowing for shots using the CO. name and aircraft as a backdrop may end up costing CM & DM business at some point and 2) at 19 he wasn't portraying a tremendous amount of respect for the reputation of CM/WM and the Co. Not that he couldn't participate in such a photo op, but IMO, if DM had respect and appreciation for all that CM & WM had worked for, he would have at least moved to protecting the family name and covered all references to the Co. name. JMHO, he may have swung the photoshoot by CM-but I'm having a hard time thinking that CM would say it was OK for his 19 yr old grandson to use the DC4 with Millardaire stretched across the fuselage as a backdrop.
Do all 19 year olds that display a lack of judgement or respect continue that way into adulthood? IMO "No". Many people do stupid things in their teens that cause harm to their family's reputation, but grow into very mature, caring, productive and respectful adults. They learn there are consequences to their actions. JMHO, the bigger question here is can we gather enough information about DM to come to a reasonable conclusion about which way he went. Did DM ever have to learn that there could be consequences to his actions/decisions or didn't he? MOO
