McDonnell Douglas Finance Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

McDonnell  Douglas  Finance  Corporation  (the "Company")  is  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of McDonnell  Douglas Financial  Services Corporation  ("MDFS"), a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of  McDonnell  Douglas Corporation  ("MDC").   In the
opinion  of  management,  the accompanying  consolidated  financial statements
reflect all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring accruals) which  are
necessary to present  fairly the  consolidated balance sheet  and the  related
consolidated  statements of  income and  income retained  for growth  and cash
flows for the  interim periods presented.   The statements  should be read  in
conjunction with the notes  to the consolidated financial statements  included
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain  1994  amounts  have   been  reclassified  to  conform  to   the  1995
presentation.


Note 2 - Credit Agreements and Long-Term Debt

The provisions  of various credit and  debt agreements require the  Company to
maintain  a minimum net worth, restrict indebtedness, and limit cash dividends
and  other distributions.  Under the most restrictive provision, $51.7 million
of  the Company's income  retained for growth  was available for  dividends at
March 31, 1995.


Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies

In  1994, certain debtors of the Company commenced actions against the Company
seeking damages in  excess of $14.0 million  based on various  contractual and
tort claims arising  out of financing and loan agreements.   Concurrently, the
Company brought actions against  the debtors to collect overdue  amounts under
the loans provided by the  Company.  No response to discovery  has taken place
in any of these actions.   At this early stage of the legal  proceedings it is
not  possible to  predict with  any certainty  the  ultimate outcome  of these
related  legal proceedings.   The  Company intends  to vigorously  defend such
claims.  Based on information currently available, the Company believes it has
meritorious  defenses to all  of the allegations of  wrongdoing and that there
will  be no material  adverse effect on  the Company's earnings,  cash flow or
financial position.

At March 31, 1995  and December 31, 1994, the Company had  unused credit lines
available to customers totaling $4.4 million and $3.1 million; and commitments
to  provide  leasing and  other financing  totaling  $163.8 million  and $94.4
million.

In conjunction with prior  asset dispositions, at March 31, 1995,  the Company
was subject to a maximum  recourse of $51.7 million.  Based on trends to date,
the Company's exposure to such loss is not  expected to be significant.

The  Company leases aircraft under capital leases which have been subleased to
others.   At March 31, 1995, the Company  had guaranteed the repayment of $8.8
million in capital lease obligations associated with a 50% partner.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>7

On March  31, 1995, MDC, the Company and the Company's largest customer signed
a  term sheet agreement under which the Company is to be paid, over a 28-month
period,  amounts due from this  customer aggregating $29.1  million, which had
been  deferred from October 1, 1994 through  March 31, 1995.  This customer is
current on  its payments under this  agreement, but no assurance  can be given
that this  customer will be able  to perform its obligations  thereunder.  MDC
has increased  by $11.5 million the aggregate amount of its guaranties of this
customer's obligations to the Company.


Item 2.		Management's Analysis of Results of Operations

Net gain on disposal or re-lease of assets decreased $0.9 million (38.0%) from
the  first  quarter of  1994,  primarily attributable  to  a 1994  sale  of an
executive jet within the commercial equipment leasing portfolio.

Other income  was $1.5 million (52.5%)  lower than the first  quarter of 1994,
attributable primarily to decreased short-term investment income.

Operating  expenses decreased $1.3 million  (29.7%) from the  first quarter of
1994,  attributable primarily  to  closing the  offices  of McDonnell  Douglas
Capital  Corporation,  McDonnell  Douglas   Bank  Limited  and  the  Company's
receivable  inventory  financing  group,   and  reductions  in  the  Company's
personnel.


                                    Part II

Item 1.		Legal Proceedings

Commercial Aircraft Financing

On March 31,  1995, MDC,  the Company and  Trans World Airlines,  Inc. ("TWA")
signed a  term sheet agreement under which  the Company is to  be paid, over a
28-month  period, amounts due from  TWA aggregating $29.1  million, which have
been  deferred from the period  from October 1, 1994  thorough March 31, 1995.
TWA is current on its payments under  this agreement, but no assurance can  be
given that TWA will be able to perform its obligations thereunder.  On account
of the increased amount owing from TWA  to the Company caused by the foregoing
payment deferrals, MDC has increased by  $11.5 million the aggregate amount of
its guaranties of TWA's obligations to the Company.
