Lockheed did not absorb McDonnell-Douglas, Boeing did. The Lockheed L-1011
Tristar and the McDAC DC-10 were distinctly different airplanes, competing
for the same market. Lockheed gave in first, so there are many more DC-10s
flying now than there are TriStars.

I thought they were the same, just renamed when Lockheed absorbed
Douglas. Was the L-1011 in service by '77? Also, the image doesn't
look like a fisheye to me. . . .maybe an 18 or 21. Is this info. in the
original article?
