Did you mean Harry Doan of Daytona Beach? Harry told me that his family is the same one as Doan's Pills. Harry himself owned half of the boardwalk property in Daytona and he had a wonderful warbird shop down in New Smyrna Beach that I used to love to visit when I was in A&P school. He also had a little storage yard in South Daytona about a block from one of the houses I rented while I was a ERAU. He kept a bunch of old helicopters there. I remember some UH-1's and HUP-1's, there were probably remnants of several S-55/H-19's and S-58/H-34's there, too. Probably leftover from the old helicopter scenic airways operation he had in Orlando before (IIRC) a fatal accident forced him to shut it down.
I remember lots of interesting birds down at the hangar in NSB, but no AM-1 Mauler.
I do remember:
Stearman
T-33
B-25s (2) (1 flyable and 1 a basket case)
Corsairs (2) (1 was an old F4U-1 "birdcage" and 1 was a F2G Super - I think it was Race 57 before it was restored)
F9F Panther (to be restored only to static display condition)
C-123K
TBM
T-6
S-58/H-34 (2)
and I think there was a Twin Beech 18, as well.
