Convair

Convair was the result of a 1943 merger between Consolidated Aircraft and Vultee Aircraft. In March 1953, Convair was acquired by General Dynamics, becoming the Convair Division of the merged company. It produced aircraft until 1965, then shifted to space and airframe projects. Sold to McDonnell Douglas in 1994 , the Fort Worth facility went to Lockheed, and in 1996 General Dynamics shut down the Convair Division.
