Trying to decode my late father’s 1960s Douglas Aircraft employee badge (ID #708976) — Any historians with internal directories?

A family member seeks to identify the job title and specific projects of their late father, who worked at Douglas Aircraft in the mid-to-late 1960s, using an employee ID card numbered 708976 dated to November 1965. The request appeals to aviation historians, collectors, and Douglas alumni for access to company directories, payroll indices, or departmental codes that could clarify the father's employment history across Douglas facilities.
Detailed analysis

This submission is not an aviation news article and does not contain material suitable for the requested analytical format. It is a personal genealogy research post — likely sourced from Reddit — in which a private individual seeks help identifying details about a deceased family member's employment at Douglas Aircraft Company in the 1960s. There are no operational developments, regulatory actions, safety findings, industry trends, or implications for professional pilots or aviation operators contained within it.

Writing a structured pilot-audience analysis of this content would produce something misleading or fabricated, since there are no facts, developments, or broader trends to analyze in the context of commercial, business, or general aviation operations.

If you have an actual aviation news article — covering topics such as FAA rulemaking, airspace changes, aircraft certification, fleet decisions, accident investigations, labor developments, avionics or technology updates, or business aviation market trends — please resubmit and a full analysis will be provided.
