Douglas DC-9: A Legends of Flight Illustrated History Borgmann Wolfgang
With their unmistakable silhouette, the Douglas DC-9 family of twin-engine, passenger jets was a familiar sight on many of the world's airfields well into the 1990s. The DC-9 became an instant bestseller for Douglas. Douglas initiated development of the DC-9 at the beginning of the 1960s and, in doing so, developed an entirely new market--the short-range jet airliner.
In this book you will learn everything from the first designs to its gradual elimination from the market by more-modern designs from Airbus and Boeing.
