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

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.
