The Douglas DC-8 first flew in 1958, making it one of the first long-range commercial aircraft. Between 1958 and 1972, more than 500 were built, some of which are still in use today for scheduled cargo transport. This is the most detailed historical and photographic guide to this aircraft type ever printed. It explains the differences between the DC-8 sub-models and describes the development, production and operational history of each individual model. The passenger facilities are presented in detail, giving the reader an impression of what it was like to travel in the DC-8.
