Douglas also had to redesign parts of the DC-8 after the plane failed to meet its initial guarantees (Douglas' explanation: the DC-8 will go as fast as claimed-550 m.p.h.-but has to burn too much fuel to do so). Losses on the DC-8 contributed heavily to a net loss of nearly $34 million reported by the company for the year ending...
