About
Donald Wills Douglas, Sr. was born in Brooklyn, New York. He was an American aircraft industrialist and engineer. He founded the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1921. He gained the upper hand, particularly with his revolutionary and highly successful Douglas DC-3 airliner and its equally popular World War II military transport version, the C-47; at the start of the war, his airplanes made up 80% of all commercial aircraft in service. He received his Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering—the first person to receive such a degree from MIT—in 1914, completing the four-year course in half the time.
