InFlight 200
Douglas DC-8 Series
After many many
years of deliberation from the Douglas company on whether to enter the
jet age or not, in the summer of 1955 a complete replica of the DC-8
was manufactured. This was used by engineers to develop not only the
interior layout, but also to determine the exact locations of major
items such as the black box, wire bundles, and cable routings etc.
Three years later, on the 9th of April 1958, Ship One (as the first
aircraft was always referred to) was ceremoniously rolled out, and
waving from the open cockpit windows were Donald W. Douglas Sr. and son
Don Jr. - by then president of the Douglas Aircraft Company. In front
of an estimated 95,000 employees, Ship One - registered N8008D - took
to the skies on the 30th of May 1958, launching another great name into
the jetliner era.
The InFlight 200
DC-8 features rubber tyres, rolling wheels, aerials and high
attention to detail.
Many of these models
have now sold out, although some may still be available through
individual retailers. Please contact
them for availability.
