The McDonnell 119 was designed to meet the USAF UCX
contest of the late 1950's but when this was won by the
Lockheed Jetstar, the company attempted to find a civil
market for the aircraft (then renamed the 220).
This was ultimately unsuccessful and the sole example was
donated to the Flight Safety Foundation. The subsequent
history of the aircraft is somewhat contentious as there was
apparently a "no-fly" condition attached, but the aircraft was
sold to a private owner and flown to El Paso in Texas where it
has remained since. The aircraft has passed through several
hands and there have been attempts to restore the aircraft
and make it airworthy but it has remained firmly grounded in
the Texas sun.
This CD contains the flight manual for the McDonnell 119 as
supplied by McDonnell to military pilots evaluating the aircraft
in the late 1950's. The CD has been scanned from the original
manual and retains any colour pages.
