The authors investigate continuous solutions of a certain operator-integral equation of Volterra-Stieltjes type \[ x(t)= h(t), (Tx) (t)\int_{0}^{t} u(t,s, x(s)) d_{s} g(t,s), \] where \(t\in [0,1 ]= I\) and \(T: C(I)\to C(I)\) is a continuous operator which satisfies classical Darbo condition formulated in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. The main result of the paper states that under suitable assumptions imposed on \(h\), \(T\), \(u\) and \(g\), the given equation has at least one solution. Its proof is based on a suitable application of the Darbo fixed point theorem. In the second part of the paper the authors discuss some special cases of the equation in question. In particular, the famous Chandrasekhar quadratic integral equation \[ x(t)=1,x(t)\int_{0}^{t}{t\over t,s}\phi(s)x(s) ds \] is considered. The results of the paper generalize some previous ones obtained by themselves and other authors.
