Synopsis
In the early 1900s, Malcolm and Allan Haines Loughead, two young aviation-minded brothers in San Francisco, started what was to become one of the biggest aviation corporations in the world. Their Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company, began in a garage in San Francisco in 1912, failed but it was succeeded by the Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company, later Lockheed Aircraft Company. Unique single-shell, wooden monocoque construction put the speedy, high-winged Vega and Orion cabin planes well ahead of their competitors' fabric covered biplane designs and, arguably, they were the fastest and finest monoplanes of the period 1927-34.Marietta, Georgia, built Boeing B-47s, C-130 Hercules and Jet-Star aircraft. In 1961 the Division was re-organized as the Lockheed-Georgia Company. Ten years on Lockheed was winning large orders for its L-1011 airliner, but when engine supplier Rolls Royce went into receivership, production of TriStars ceased temporarily. Without Government help Lockheed itself would have followed it into bankruptcy. With the formation of the Lockheed Corporation in 1977 a new era was heralded and the fortunes of the company were boosted. Stealth technology gave a new lease of life for the U-2 and one wonders what the young Loughead brothers would have made of the sight of F-117As, the first US Air Force combat planes to strike targets in 1991, in action at the start of the Gulf War.
