Of the three heavies, the L-1011 was most advanced, the most innovative and the most commercially unsuccessful of the three. Between the L-1011 and the USAF C-5 Galaxy it bankrupted Lockheed, and was the first corporate bail-out of a major corporation of its kind. The L-1011 on the other hand was very favorably received by crews and passengers alike and went onto a very successful career with TWA, DAL, EAL, PanAm and many international carriers ( British Airways, ANA, Cathay and Saudia ). It was equipped with DLC, CAT 3 Autoland, and an elevator:-)
