Just because you buy out a competitor only a spiv would call them "your" aeroplanes. You didn't design them, you didn't build them and you can't claim they're yours. Boeing Fake News.
Spiv? Oh my. You're taking this rather personally. The fact is, 90 years ago
Boeing (not Douglas, not McDonnell) had already designed and built three different USN carrier aircraft. The fact they were biplanes and prop driven is totally beside the point. There were bleeding edge at the time and operating from carrier decks. And 89 years ago Boeing (not Douglas, not McDonnell) designed and built USN's first monoplane. Now Boeing has designed and are building USN's first operational carrier drone
Now,
if I were to include Douglas, then the first Boeing USN carrier aircraft was the Douglas DT, which flew 98 years ago. And USN's first twin engine carrier aircraft, the Douglas T2D, flew 92 years ago.
Perhaps taking a deep breath before reading and posting would help your mood. Good luck with that.
