DOUGLAS DC-6 & C-118

$9.95

Title: Douglas DC-6 and C-118 No’s 1 and 2

A more powerful, stretched and pressurised version of the DC-4, the DC-6 first flew in 1946, initially as a military transport designated XC-112A. Too late to participate in WW2 the type was developed for post-war civil airline use as the DC-6. 175 civil DC-6 examples were built and as these were replaced in the late 50’s by the first generation of turbo-prop and turbo-jet airliners they were sought after by operators in the lower echelons, and remained in service for many more years. Numerous examples continue to serve as fire bombers in the Western US. 166 examples were built for service in the US military as the C-118 and these served until 1965.

We offer two titles for the DC-6 and C-118. The first title contains the manufacturers flight manual for the DC-6 plus the manual used by the RNZAF and a nice manufacturer’s brochure. The second title contains two US military flight manuals for the C-118. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
