McDonnell Douglas MD-11: A Long Beach Swansong (Aerofax Series)

US Books > Nonfiction > Transportation > Aviation > Commercial

Increasing consolidation in the international aviation industry has lead to the loss of yet another famous name when in early 2001, the last of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11s was rolled out. This title is a fitting tribute to the last of a long and famous line of aircraft to carry the McDonnell Douglas name. The MD-11 was a follow-on to the DC-10 and proved less successful in terms of numbers produced. However, it has seen service with many airlines and is entering a second phase as a pure freighter conversion. This Aerofax volume details every aircraft and operator. Almost all of the illustrations are full color and show a wide range of schemes and operators.
