   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, 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,
   $51.8 million  of the Company's income  retained for  growth was available
   for dividends at June 30, 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  June 30, 1995  and December 31, 1994,  the Company  had commitments to
   provide  leasing and  other  financing totaling  $112.0 million  and $94.4
   million.

   In conjunction  with  prior asset  dispositions,  at  June 30,  1995,  the
   Company was subject  to a maximum  recourse of  $28.5 million.   Based  on
   trends to date, the  Company's exposure to  such loss is not   expected to
   be significant.
<PAGE>

   <PAGE>7

   The  Company  leases  aircraft  under  capital  leases  which   have  been
   subleased to  others.   At June 30, 1995,  the Company had  guaranteed the
   repayment of $8.4 million in capital  lease obligations associated with  a
   50% partner.

   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.   Due to  the  increased  amount owing  from this
   customer to the Company, caused by  the foregoing payment deferrals  since
   December 31,  1994,  MDC  has  increased  the   aggregate  amount  of  its
   guaranties  of this  customer's obligations to  the Company.   On June 30,
   1995, this customer filed a prepackaged  plan under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
   bankruptcy  laws,  under  which   most  agreements  with   its  creditors,
   including those with MDC discussed above, were negotiated in advance.   On
   August 4,  1995, the  prepackaged plan  was  confirmed by  the  bankruptcy
   court and  the agreements with  MDC have  been assumed in  accordance with
   their terms.


   Item 2.  Management's Analysis of Results of Operations

   Net gain  on disposal or  re-lease of assets  for the  first half of  1995
   decreased $1.3  million (21.3%)  from the  first half  of 1994,  primarily
   attributable to  a 1994  sale of  an executive jet  within the  commercial
   equipment leasing portfolio.

   Operating  expenses for  the first  half  of  1995 decreased  $1.8 million
   (23.1%)  from the  first half 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.

   Interest expense for the first  half of 1995 decreased $5.5 million (9.7%)
   from the  first half of 1994, primarily due to the Company refinancing its
   high coupon debt with lower coupon debt.

   Other expenses for  the first half of  1995 decreased $1.7 million (54.8%)
   from the  first half  of 1994, attributable  to a 1994  writedown of  real
   estate owned properties.

   Company seeking  damages  in excess  of  $14.0  million based  on  various

   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.

   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
   through  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.   Due to the increased  amount owing from TWA
   to  the  Company,  caused   by  the  foregoing   payment  deferrals  since
   December 31,  1994,  MDC  has  increased   the  aggregate  amount  of  its
   guaranties  of TWA's obligations  to the Company.   On  June 30, 1995, TWA
   filed a prepackaged  plan under Chapter  11 of the  U.S. bankruptcy  laws,
   under  which most agreements with  its creditors, including those with MDC
   discussed  above,  were negotiated  in advance.   On  August 4, 1995,  the
   prepackaged plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court and the  agreements
   with MDC have been assumed in accordance with their terms.


   Borrowing Operations

   In May  1995, Duff  & Phelps Credit  Rating Co. raised  the rating  of the
   Company's senior debt  to BBB+ and subordinated  debt to BBB  and assigned
   an initial rating to its commercial paper of D2.

   During  the second quarter of 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration
   statement  relating to  up to $750  million aggregate  principal amount of
   debt securities with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC").
   On June 15, 1995, the SEC declared  such registration statement  effective
   and the Company established a $500 million medium-term note program.   The
   interest  rate applicable  to each note  and certain  other variable terms
   are established at the date of issue.
