Destination Disaster by Paul Eddy, Elaine Potter, Bruce Page
Requirements: EPUB, MOBI Reader, 3.7 MB
Overview: Destination Disaster is a remarkable book of the politics in the (wide-body) commercial-aviation industry, and an accounting of the political warfare between McDonald Douglas and Lockheed Aircraft to gain acceptance of their designs during the early competition for wide-body commercial aircraft. One company, McDonald, pushed hard in Washington to prevent the technically more-advanced L1011 from being accepted in the commercial airline industry, only to see its candidate, the DC-10, later prove to be a safety nightmare.
It is a spell-binding account of the troubles that ensued. In the end, Douglas’ effort helped prevent acceptance of the L1011 for large-scale orders, and the plane ended production far too soon due to lowered order rate.
