Oliver Boileau, 80, Aerospace Executive, Is Dead


ST. LOUIS (AP), Aug. 3 — Oliver C. Boileau, a retired aerospace executive who worked on projects from the lunar rover to the B-2 stealth bomber, died here on July 27. He was 80.

The cause was complications of surgery, according to the Forever Bellerive Cemetery in Creve Coeur, Mo.

Mr. Boileau, who was known as Ollie, held leadership positions at Boeing, General Dynamics and Northrup Grumman. He was born in Camden, N.J., and served in the Navy in World War II.

Mr. Boileau began his career in national defense at RCA in Camden in 1951. A year later, he joined Boeing in Seattle, where he directed work on the lunar rover, the Minuteman missile program and other projects. He was later promoted to lead the Boeing Aerospace Company, which in the 1980s was the military and space arm of Boeing.

Mr. Boileau left Boeing in 1980 to be president and vice chairman of General Dynamics in St. Louis. He held the post for nine years. After a brief retirement, Northrop in Southern California brought him back to lead the B-2 stealth bomber program. He retired in 1995 as president of Northrop Grumman.

Among the survivors are his wife, Nan Eleze (Lee) Boileau; two daughters; two sons; and two grandchildren.
