Vintage Douglas Aircraft Company Photograph

I bought this old school photograph at an antique store in Long Beach, California a few years back. The caption on a piece of paper that accompanied the photograph read Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach. No year was given. It looks to be in the mid 1960's and the plane looks like a DC-8.

I began working at Douglas on January 2, 1979, so this was long before my time. It is a piece of Douglas and McDonnell Douglas Aircraft (and much later Boeing Aircraft) history so I could not leave it behind.  It was a career unlike any other. I am grateful for my time - 36 years - with the company. All good things come to an end.
