Douglas Aircraft Company SERVICE - ATA Special Issue

One technical publication as printed by Douglas Aircraft Co. Santa Monica, California as part of their ongoing DOUGLAS SERVICE publications of the mid to late 1950s.

This printing is SPECIAL ISSUE AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA - 1958 ANNUAL ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE CONFERENCE and is part of the September-October 1958 printing cycle for this publication. If you went to the conference, you remember what a great time it was. The dancing girls, the drinks, the rubber chickens, yes, all of that. 

Printed black on white in 8.5 x 10.5 inch format. Center stapled. 

Lots of illustrations. This came from private collection of a former Douglas engineer who worked for the Santa Monica plant during this time period. It's used. Only markings on it I can see are on the upper front RH part of the cover, where it was passed thru the engineering department. Price, Chic, Schueler, and damn it, even Duffy himself read it. Good old Duffy. Wonder where he is now? I see a slight cut on the front cover that cuts into the Douglas printing office data on inside front cover. Slight cuts. 

Good shape. No folds, grease marks, water or coffee stains or drawings of naked women inside. The naked women thing was furthest from the minds of those in the engineering department, you know. 

This is the first of several DOUGLAS SERVICE printings we will be offering from the collection.
