|  | McDonnell Douglas Jetliners by Robbie Shaw
Bought by rival Boeing in 1997 in the biggest takeover in aerospace history, McDonnell Douglas has a long and distinguished history that predates World War II. This volume features all of the manufacturer`s DC and MD model jetliners in exclusive color photographs -- from the shapely DC-8 introduced in the late 1950s to the 405-seat MD-11. Robbie Shaw, who currently works as an air traffic controller, travels the world photographing airliners. His detailed text explains the histories of the aircraft shown, concisely detailing the manufacturing history of each. Photographs taken from areas not accessible to enthusiasts feature variations of all the major operators` standard color schemes, as well as unique one-off liveries. Detailed appendices provide full specifications for each aircraft. AUTHOR: Robbie Shaw
