Family Life
In 1932, Mantz married Myrtle Harvey, one of his former flying students, but divorced in 1935. He remarried two years later to Terry Mac Minor and had a son, Paul, with his second wife, while her two children, Roy and Tenita, were subsequently adopted. The Mantz family lived on Balboa Island, off Newport Beach, California, where Mantz had a yacht. After years of successful ventures in both air racing and movie work, he had accumulated more than $10 million in profits, and by 1965, was planning his retirement. When his partner, Frank Tallman, broke his leg in a freak accident, Mantz stepped in to finish the aerial scenes for one last movie project.
