	McDonnell Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Douglas continued to develop new aircraft, including the successful four-engined DC-6 (1946) and their last prop-driven commercial aircraft, the DC-7 (1953).
		Both companies were eager to enter the new missile business, Douglas moving from producing air-to-air rockets and missiles to entire missile systems under the 1956 Nike program and becoming the main contractor of the Skybolt ALBM program and the Thor ballistic missile program.
		Douglas was strained by the cost of the DC-8 and DC-9, and the companies began to sound each other out about a merger.
