During World War I, this aircraft was equipped with a French 75 mm gun. The "Eagle" is an American symbol. It was built from several different plane parts. People were disappointed that it didn't work.
Douglas DC-10
It has had 55 accidents, making it the worst plane ever built. The doors opened from the outside, not the inside. During a robbery in 1974, the doors opened into the air! In 1979, a wing fell off a plane during takeoff. It's safer now, which is a good thing.
