McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft silhouetted against orange sunset sky with illuminated passenger windows

A McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide-body aircraft flies against a dramatic orange sunset sky, its passenger windows glowing with interior lighting. This type of aircraft was central to Sir Freddie Laker's revolutionary Skytrain service, which offered low-cost transatlantic flights and challenged the established airline industry in the 1970s and early 1980s.
