Not with certainty.... This is what is said about it on the Don Reasons' 
website......

<<The Beatrice Foods Years...
In the seventies, Beatrice Foods had become the owner. Unfortunately, 
Beatrice Foods was a FOOD company and NOT a travel trailer company. With no 
experience in this industry for guidance, several management decisions were 
made which sacrificed the quality of Wally Byam's legendary trailer. Shoddy 
construction resulting from new corporate management nearly finished off the 
Airstream company in the late 1970s. It is sad when the image of a 
first-class, hand-built product like the Airstream trailer can be tarnished 
by people who have no clue about the industry or the customers to whom they 
are producing this rather specialized product! Thankfully, Thor Industries 
rescued Airstream from the clutches of the cup-cake maker and gave it a 
needed shot of integrity. It's treasured reputation was on the road to 
recovery.>>
