Hello John Burke,
The information is for a book which I expect to be finished around the end of October and published in the early spring. The information about the MD-11 comprises only a small percentage of the book, however I am a stickler for accuracy and want to ensure that I have it right. I find that I become irritated when an author writes about a topic of which I have knowledge and see that the author has not taken the care to ensure that it reflects reality.
Cheers, Peter

Peter, is this book fictional, or non-fiction?
Depending on what he's writing, a detailed list of works and research sites isn't necessarily what's needed. It may be a matter of trying to flesh out an element of a story to make it as realistic as possible.

Hello John Burke,
I am writing a book which I expect to have completed towards the end of October and published in the early spring of 2019. The material on the MD-11F only comprises a small percentage of the book, however as I am a stickler for accuracy, I want to get it right. I find it frustrating when I read material on a topic on which I have expertise and the author has not taken the care to ensure that they have the information correct.
Cheers, Peter.

I have published non-fiction, however the work is fictional.

So fiction gives you a lot of room to make believable, educated reasons for your story to work. You don’t have to have cargo wizards and fuel warlocks like I mentioned earlier.
Boeing has kits for the 737-200 and 727 to operate from unpaved surfaces. It’s entirely plausible that Douglas Co. would have had a team investigating suitability of the DC-10 or MD-11 for similar roles before ultimately abandoning the project. (As far as I know this never actually occurred, but fiction gives you room to make your alternate timeline.).
