McDonnell Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft and spacecraft manufacturer founded in St. Louis, Missouri, on 6 July 1939 by James Smith McDonnell. It became a major supplier of United States Navy and Air Force jet fighters, beginning with the FH-1 Phantom and continuing through the F2H Banshee, F3H Demon, F-101 Voodoo and the F-4 Phantom II. It also built the Mercury and Gemini crewed capsules for NASA. In 1967 it merged with the Douglas Aircraft Company to form McDonnell Douglas, which later merged into Boeing.
