A. J. Cherrington said Avoiding touchy subjects.. Part of the Osprey Civil Aircraft series. Mainly a book of pictures.Knowing the personal opinions that this author puts into his narrations, I wasn't expecting alot of indepth research. Starting with the DC-8, we are taken through the fleet and it's many forms. On to the DC-9 family and then to the DC-10.As expected, the author keeps the narrative of this (DC-10) airlner's early history quiet by simply not writing about it. Instead he focuses on the positives and the fact that the DC-10 did enjoy a good reputation among pilots, cabin crew and passengers alike.Next up the post McDonnell-Douglas merge airliners starting with the. A Customer said Good information, good pictures, lacks some detail. This book has good detail and coverage of the DC-9, MD-80, DC-10, and MD-11. However, there is not as much good detail on the very first DC-8s, especially the original turbojets. There also is not much detail on the MD-90. The text is generally good, although there are some factual inconsistencies. Overall, a pretty good book with some good pictures, but not a complete coverage of all Douglas types..
