Specimen stock certificate. ND, (ca.1920-30's). Odd Shares. Red specimen overprint, POC. The Vega Aircraft Corporation was a subsidiary of the Lockheed Aircraft Company responsible for much of its parent company's production in World War II. The company was first formed in August 1937 as the AiRover Company to produce a new light plane design. In 1940, with World War II already underway in Europe, Vega changed its focus from light planes to military aircraft. Vega entered a partnership between three companies, Boeing, Vega, and Douglas to produce the B-17 Flying Fortress. Of over 12,000 B-17s produced by war's end, 2,750 were built by Vega. By the end of 1943, Vega had merged back into Lockheed. Historic aviation company.
