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?
