Osprey Aircraft Cutaways : The Illustrated History of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft : From Cloudster to Boeing

This book tells the complete story of one of the few truly great aircraft builders it contains beautiful line-art illustrations of a host of Douglas, McDonnell and McDonnell-Douglas aircraft, past and present. The artwork was done by Mike Badrocke who is a recognized master at this craft, presented to best effect on fold-out pages. Bill Gunston is also a master aviation writer. Together they've produced a very beautiful book for the aviation enthusiast. You'll see cutaways of the 'DC series' commercial aircraft (eg. DC-3, DC-9, etc.), McDonnell fighters (eg. F-101, F-4 and others) as well as earlier aircraft from both manufacturers. The book also shows us the latest McDonnell-Douglas aircraft after the merger (eg. F-15, F-18, C-17 and DC-10). As with other Badrocke illustrations, there are labels/callouts to various parts of the plane which help guide you through its inner workings. Gunston provides an historical view of many McDonnell-Douglas aircraft which are not illustrated. Those not illustrated are usually the older, more esoteric aircraft with limited historical visibility. Overall, it's a wonderful book to help you 'explore' the insides of these aircraft, and nobody does that better than Badrocke.
