Douglas adds Long Beach DC-10 plants and Apollo ties
General Electric and Pratt & Whitney plan DC-10 work with Long Beach as final assembly hub. McGowen says over 50 percent of manufacturing will occur locally, with facilities expansion to handle 275 to 410 seat models and all-cargo variants. Apollo program continues, with NASA planning Apollo 9, 10 and manned Saturn-Apollo tests by 1966, involving North American Rockwell, TRW, and McDonnell Douglas as key Southland contractors.
