Introduced in 1959, the Douglas DC-8 was United Air Lines’ first jet airliner to be launched into service. Branded the “Jet Mainliner” by United, it was a major advancement in airliner design and officially launched the airline into the jet age. #aircraftmodels #avgeek #dc8

The company had a near monopoly on inter-East Coast services from the 1930s to the 1950s. Eastern promoted its image with an eagle symbol and a slogan describing its airplanes as “The Great Silver Fleet.”
