They were aircraft builders. Lockheed is still there, but not building
commercial aircraft. McDD has built its last commercial aircraft under the
arm of Boeing. You also need to add the UK and European ones if you're
trying to make that point. All the good aircraft builders in the UK got
done over by successive governments which wanted to guide the way things
went.
