Original McDonnell-Douglas Company Brochures Available

Postby SkyBoat » Thu Sep 17, 2015 12:50 am

Hi All

Recently, the flight newsletter, FlightAware had a feature article from Airway News that provided scanned images of over 130 images taken from actual McDonnell-Douglas company promotional and technical brochures that were used by their sales people.

Aircraft included are:

DC-8 (all versions, passenger and cargo, promotional and technical)
DC-10 (all versions, passenger and cargo, plus early the release brochure, the inaugural release brochure, and production brochure, technical brochures)
MD-11 (all versions, passenger and cargo, promotional and technical)
DC-9 (all versions, passenger and cargo, promotional and technical)
MD-90 (all versions, passenger and cargo, promotional and technical)
MD-95 (all versions, passenger and cargo, promotional and technical)
1995 McDonnell-Douglas "Future Look" Promo

Many pages are in color. The technical manuals contain a wealth of information about the aircraft. Some have very good photos of the flight decks, either as a whole or close ups of sections.

In all, if you are interested in the McDonnell-Douglas Commercial jet fleet, for aircraft development, or just as an aviation history buff, this collection is a unique look at a major contributor to commercial jet aviation in the second half of the 20th Century.

I'm happy to send you the entire collection as a zipped file to your email. Or if you want just certain aircraft, I can bundle those and zip them also. If you want to download them yourself from the Airway News site, here is the link: http://airwaysnews.com/html/memorabilia/mcdonnell-douglas-aircraft-history-sales-brochures-and-memorabilia/1971-dc-10-sales-brochure/541

You can contact me at my forum email or send me a PM.

Cheers,
SkyBoat

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?
