dozzy wannabe...glad you have to go back so far to find problems with douglas.
B737...flips upside down and kills everyone due to rudder problems
AB320...settles into trees with top notch test pilots at controls
AB330 lost while pilots can't recover from stall
B767 thrust reverser extends in flight...all lost
B747 improper repair, vertical fin blows off killing over 500 people
Sure there are problems with douglas...but the inherent strength in the single digit (douglas) is wonderful...esp when compared with other planes.
I seem to recall Gen Eisenhower giving credit to the Douglas C47/DC3 or Dakota as helping to win WW2...and that the Dakota was the first plane in the Queen's Jubilee flyover...An American plane.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
