Fantastic Book,
This review is from: Douglas DC-8 (Great Airliners Series, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I've searched for a long time a good DC 8 book which would show and describe what happened in the planning-time, in the production-time, what for problems the engeeners had and so on.And I've found it, I recommend this book strongly to everybody who loves the DC 8 and the early jetliners.

A reference guide a turn to day in and day out,
By Charles E. Gowing (Metro Keene, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Douglas DC-8 (Great Airliners Series, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Beautifully illustrated referene book covering every aspect of the Douglas DC-8. This is by far one of America's greatest aviation achievements and this title certainly demonstrates that honor. As part of a top-of-the-line series (Great Airliners), the reader will find this addition to thier airliner book collection priceless.

Great Book on a wonderful airplane.,
By Sgt. Disney "sgtdisney" (Chicago burbs USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Douglas DC-8 (Great Airliners Series, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I just received this book, but I am already very happy with it. It is full of lots of details on this wonderful old aircraft and a large number of color photos. It makes me remember a childhood trip I took on a Delta DC-8 and we got to sit in this lounge type set up in the very front of the airplane, ahead of the galley. With 2 sets of 2 seats facing each other with a table between them. What a wonderful and elegant airplane. I can't wait to finish the book.
