GUESTBOOK

When Donald Douglas built his first aircraft, the Cloudster, he started with constructionnumber 100, this way he pretended to be an experienced aircraft constructor. When the, then McDonnell-Douglas company, was merged into Boeing nobody cared about those never used first 99 anymore. Some 40,000 aircraft were built in various plants, most of those aircraft are in this list. The B-17's and B-24's built by Douglas in Long Beach and Tulsa respectively are also included.
The USAAF introduced a system to identify the manufacturing plant of their aircraft. For Douglas they were:
DC - Douglas Chicago;  DE - Douglas El Segundo;  DK - Douglas Oklahoma City;  DL - Douglas Long Beach;  DO - Douglas Santa Monica;   DT - Douglas Tulsa.
The aircraft which were built in the former plant of Northrop in El Segundo are in a separate list, because that plant used it's own c/n's, with numbers running parallel with other Douglas sites.
Also included are two MD-90-30's, built in China, that line came to a premature end when MDD ceased to exist. I have also included the Canadair North Star / Argonaut, made up from DC-4 and DC-6 parts, combined with RR Merlin engines.
All entries are sorted similar: c/n - type - line number (when used) - all registrations and/or military serials.
