Nice to have in your DC-9/MD-80 book collection

It's an "okay" book. Everything presented seems scattered about -- not very well organized. There are some interesting bits of information here and there, but mostly seems to be grainy or blurry photographs of various operators from around the world. There are some nice profile drawings that kind of resemble blue prints. The side-by-side comparisons of all the different variants are nice. The construction of the book is very poor. I've had my copy for a couple of years now and the binding along the spine has undone itself in some pages of the book. The cover is also just slightly shorter than the pages contained within them. I am not expecting this book to last very long, unfortunately. Overall, it's nice to have in your collection, but I wouldn't consider it a necessity.

As a former Douglas vendor who was involved with the construction of these aircraft, this is a book I will keep 'til the day I die!

excellent entry level book!

This book contains tons of information regarding the DC9 family. Even though it doesn't have much technical information, it is enough if your just interested in viewing photos of airlines that used this wonderful airplane.

Excellent Overview Of The Great Douglas Twinjets

The DC-9 family is an inspired choice for the first volume of the Squadron/Signal "At The Gate" series. Millions of people have flown on the DC-9 series aircraft over the years, and it introduced jet travel to innumerable cities. This book is a well-illustrated historical overview of the DC-9 (and subsequent MD-80 and MD-90) family of aircraft. It is profusely illustrated with photographs, paintings, and line drawings.The book would be ideal for scale modelers, but is equally useful as an introduction to the aircraft from a historical point of view. The book is strong on photographs of the aircraft in numerous paint schemes, and contains a lot of useful information on the program. Most of the photographs are in color, which is in wonderful contrast to most of the earlier Squadron/Signal "In Action" series. The book could have used more cockpit illustrations (the MD-80 and MD-90 EFIS cockpits are ignored) and information on systems, but aside from those critiques it is a well-rounded volume.The DC-9 was the first jet airliner I learned to fly. Two decades since I first checked out in the DC-9, it is still a favorite. This book is accurate (if general) but should be in the library of any DC-9 enthusiast.
