Discover Douglas's first long-range, four-engine jetliner. Includes more than 200 images. The Douglas DC-8 first flew in 1958, making it one of the first long-range commercial jetliners. More than 500 were built between 1958 and 1972, and there are still several examples running scheduled cargo service today. This is the most detailed historical and photographic guide to the type in print. It explains the variations among submodels of DC-8, each with their own developmental, production, and operational history. Passenger amenities are shown in detail, providing readers with an understanding of what traveling in the DC-8 was like.
