McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (Great Airliners Series, Vol. 6)

This complete review of the first three-engine widebody offers an exceptional history of the DC-10, from early concepts like a proposed 1,000-seat airliner to development, the first flight in 1970, production, and operation. Three hundred color photographs depict interiors, factory rollouts, and an extensive gallery of operators around the globe. Also discussed are the DC-10's rivalry with the Lockheed L-1011 and Boeing 747-300, the effects of the Chicago O'Hare crash in 1979, and such non-civilian proposals as a missile launcher and a super guppy cargo version for NASA.Terry Waddington is the author of 'McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (Great Airliners Series, Vol. 6)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781892437044 and ISBN 189243704X.
