Literature | Douglas The tutelary saint of the house of Douglas is St. Bridget. According to tradition, a Scottish king in 770, whose ranks had been broken by the fierce onset of the Lord of the Isles saw, the tide of battle turned in his favour by an unknown chief. After the battle the king asked who was the "Du-glass" chieftain, his deliverer, and received for answer Sholto Du-glass (Behold the dark-grey man you inquired for). The king then rewarded him with the Clydesdale valley for his services. " `Let him not cross or thwart me.' said the page; `for I will not yield him an inch of way, had he in his body the soul of every Douglas that has lived since the time of the Dark Gray Man.' " - Scott: The Abbot, chap. xxviii. Black Douglas, introduced by Sir Walter Scott in Castle Dangerous, is James, eighth Lord Douglas, who twice took Douglas Castle from the English by stratagem. The first time he partly burnt it, and the second time he utterly razed it to the ground. The castle, says Godscroft, was nicknamed the hazardous or dangerous, because every one who attempted to keep it from the "gud schyr James" was in constant jeopardy by his wiles. "The Good Sir James, the dreadful blacke Douglas' That in his dayes so wise and worthie was, Wha here and on the infidels of Spain, Such honour, praise, and triumphs did obtain." Gordon. The person generally called "Black Douglas" is William Douglas, lord of Nithsdale, who died in 1390. It was of this Douglas that Sir W. Scott said - "The name of this indefatigable chief has become so formidable, that women used, in the northern counties, to still their froward children by threatening them with the Black Douglas." - History of Scotland, chap. xi.

The Douglas Aircraft Company was founded by Donald Wills Douglas in July of 1921.It created many aircraft for the United States Air Force, and also the many of the "DC" line aircraft (DC-1, for example).
The company initially built torpedo bombers for the US Navy, but developed a number of variants on these aircraft including observer aircraft and a commercial airmail variant. Within five years the company was turning out over 100 aircraft a year. among the early employees at Douglas were Edward Heinemann, James Kindelberger, and John Northrop. The company retained its military market and expanded into amphibians in the late 1920s, also moving its facilities to Santa Monica. In 1933 Douglas produced a commercial two-engined transport the DC-2, following it with the famous DC-3 in 1936.
In 1967, the company was merged with McDonnell Aircraft Company to form McDonnell Douglas, which in 1997 became a part of the Boeing Company.

The post-Prohibition wine industry in Oregon began with Richard Somer planting Hillcrest Vineyard at the south end of the Umpqua Valley in 1961. The Umpqua Valley wine appellation lies entirely within Douglas county. Nickel has been refined at Riddle since 1954.

The area originally was inhabited by the Umpqua Indians, who belonged to the Chinook tribe. Following the Rogue River Indian War in 1856, all remaining natives were moved by the government to the Siletz and Grande Ronde Indian Reservations. Douglas County was created on January 7, 1852, from the portion of Umpqua County which lay east of the Coast Range summit. In 1856 the Camas Valley was annexed to Douglas County from Coos County. In 1862, the rest of Umpqua county was absorbed into Douglas County, some say due to the loss of population following the end of the early gold boom, while others attribute the absorption to politics. Further boundary adjustments were made with Jackson and Lane Counties in 1915.Cities and towns

McDonnell Douglas was a major American aerospace manufacturer, producing a number of famous commercial and military aircraft. From 1997 it has been part of Boeing
DC-10 (retired from AA fleet) at gate.
The company was founded from the firms of James Smith McDonnell and Donald Wills Douglas. Both were graduates of MIT and had worked for the aircraft manufacturer Glenn L. Martin Company. Douglas had been chief engineer at Glenn L. Martin, he left and established Davis-Douglas Company in early 1920 in Los Angeles, he bought out his backer and renamed the firm the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1921.
McDonnel founded J.S. McDonnell & Associates in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1928. His idea was to produce a personal aircraft for family use. The economic depression from 1929 ruined his ideas and the company collapsed and he went to work for Glenn L. Martin. He left in 1938 to try again with his own firm, McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, this time based near St. Louis, Missouri.
The war was a major earner for Douglas as well, the company produced almost 30,000 aircraft from 1942 to 1945 and the workforce swelled to 160,000. The company produced a number of aircraft including the C-47 (based on the DC-3), the DB-7 (known as the A-20, Havoc or Boston), the Dauntless and the A-26 Invader. Both companies suffered at the end of hostilities, facing an end of government orders and a surplus of aircraft both heavily cut their workforces, Douglas sacking almost 100,000 people. As part of their wartime work Douglas had established a USAAF think-tank, a group that would later become the RAND Corporation
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). The company had moved into jet propulsion, producing their first for the military - the conventional F3D Skyknight in 1948 and then the more 'jet age' F4D Skyray in 1951. Douglas also made commercial jets, producing the DC-8 in 1958 to compete with the new Boeing 707. McDonnell was also developing jets, but being smaller they were prepared to be more radical, building on their successful FH-1 Phantom to become a major supplier to the Navy with the Banshee, Demon, and the Voodoo. The advent of the Korean War helped push McDonnell into a major military fighter supply role, especially with the noted F-4 Phantom II (1958).
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. McDonnell made a number of missiles, including the unusual ADM-20 Quail, as well as experimenting with hypersonic flight, research that enabled them to gain a substantial share of the NASA projects Mercury and Gemini. Douglas also gained contracts from NASA, notably for part of the enormous Saturn V rocket.
Both companies were now major employers, but both were having problems, Douglas was strained by the cost of the DC-8 and DC-9, and began to sound each other out about a merger. Inquiries began in 1963, Douglas offered bid invitations from December 1966 and accepted that of McDonnell. The two firms were officially merged on April 28, 1967 as the McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
The new corporation continued its profitable association with the military, producing the F-15 Eagle (1974) and the F/A-18 Hornet (1975) as well as the Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles. The oil crisis of the 1970s was a serious shock to the commercial aviation industry and McDonnell Douglas was forced to contract heavily and also began to diversify to reduce the impact of potential future downturns. In 1984 the corporation acquired Hughes Helicopters.
In 1997 following the acquisition of Rockwell International by Boeing there was an enormous aerospace-defence merger between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas to create The Boeing Company.
