Of course, Pan Am hedged their bets a bit by also ordering some 20 DC-8s which they flew between 1961 and '68 before flogging them on to Delta, United and one or two other airlines...

Looking at the cross section of the KC-135, if drawn accurately the inner skin looks to be double bubbled and the outer skin smoothed over the crease? Is that right?
