A question for DC8 drivers/engineers
Is it true that the DC8 had no 'speed brake' and therefore to slow it down in flight the engine's reversor's could be deployed A/R.........'Lauda '767!!

Sorry for having offended the upper class Mr. Sawotanao.
Over 4000 hours in the Diesel 8 sitting in all three seats, hardly a Pleb.

Alitalia on their DC-8-43's used reverse thrust on finals for speed adjustment.
