*    Beneficial  ownership  in Issuer  was  acquired  by Filer in  exchange  for
     certain debt owed to Filer by a subsidiary of Issuer.

**   Filer  previously  owned 586,862  shares of Series A Convertible  Preferred
     Stock (the "Preferred  Stock") of Fields Aircraft  Spares  Incorporated,  a
     wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  the  Issuer.   Filer  received  25%  of  the
     outstanding  common  shares  of  Issuer  on  a  fully  diluted  basis  upon
     conversion of the Preferred  Stock.  As required  under certain  agreements
     with Issuer, this conversion to common shares of the Issuer occurred within
     10 days  following  the date on which the common  shares were  approved for
     quotation  on, and were quoted for trading on, the Nasdaq Stock Market as a
     SmallCap market security.  The numbers shown on lines 7, 9 and 11 represent
     the  number  of  common  shares  in the  Issuer  the  Filer  obtained  upon
     conversion.  The  percentage  ownership on line 13 assumes that none of the
     outstanding  warrants or options to acquire  Issuer's  common stock held by
     third  parties  have  been  exercised  by the  date  of this  Schedule  13D
     amendment,  and is calculated to the best of Filer's knowledge based on the
     number of common  shares and warrants or options to acquire  common  shares
     outstanding  as reported in Issuer's most recently  available  filings with
     the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         This Amendment No. 2 amends and  supplements  the Statement on Schedule
13D (the  "Schedule  13D") and Amendment  No. 1 thereto,  relating to the common
stock,  $.05 par value  per  share,  of Fields  Aircraft  Spares,  Inc.,  a Utah
corporation, previously filed by McDonnell Douglas Corporation (the "Filer").


     1.  Paragraphs  (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the  Schedule  13D,  "Interest  in
Securities  of the Issuer," are hereby  amended and restated to provide in their
entirety as follows:

         (a) The  aggregate  number and  percentage of the class of the Issuer's
common shares beneficially owned by the reporting person is as follows:

                       NUMBER OF             NUMBER OF 
                       SHARES OWNED          SHARES  
                       PURSUANT TO           BENEFICIALLY          PERCENTAGE OF
REPORTING PERSON       OPTIONS               OWNED                 CLASS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filer                    -0-                 564,194*                 30.1%*

*    As of the date of this  Schedule  13D,  Filer  owns 25% of the  outstanding
     common shares of Issuer on a fully diluted  basis.  The percentage of class
     assumes that none of the  outstanding  options to acquire  Issuer's  common
     stock held by third parties have been  exercised.  The  percentage of class
     shown is calculated to the best of Filer's knowledge based on the number of
     common shares and options to acquire common shares  outstanding as reported
     in  Issuer's  most  recently  available  filings  with the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.

         The  reporting  person  filing this  Schedule does not comprise a group
with any other person.

         (b) Subject to the Voting  Agreement filed as Exhibit C to Schedule 13D
and the Securities  Exchange  Agreement  filed as Exhibit E to Schedule 13D, the
Filer has the sole power to vote and/or dispose of 564,194 shares.

any of the information previously reported on Schedule 13D.
