All the aircraft listed are affected (Vought is owned by Northrop-Grumman today), except the B-29. It was a Boeing product, and has nothing to do with NG at all.

Also, Westinghouse Electric (jet engines, radars etc.) is now part of NG.

These companies are not affected either:
-Douglas (and McDonnell & later McDonnell-Douglas) is part of the current Boeing company.
-Same for North American Aircraft, now part of Boeing.
-Republic aircraft is long gone. First it was bought by Fairchild, afterwards it's been know variously as Fairchild-Dornier, M7 Aerospace and is now part of Israeli owned Elbit Systems (!)
-Everything which is now part of Lockheed Martin (Lockheed and Martin atleast, )
-Curtiss-Wright is existence today also as its own.
-Consolidated, Vultee (and later after these two merged, Convair) belong to General Dynamics corp.

Seems that the European companies are a bit more gentle. Imagine if BAE Systems (pretty much every British company) or EADS did the same as NG did.
