Description
Timed for publication on the 50th anniversary of Boeing, this work provides the most complete coverage of a United States aircraft manufacturer yet attempted. Boeing Aircraft since 1916 traces the development of the Boeing families of aircraft, single-engine marine types, trainers, early transports, fighters, multi-engined bombers, up to the jet transports of the present time.
Before the war Boeing pioneered the modern all-metal transport monoplane, the clean cantilever monoplane bomber and a host of other advanced types.
All this activity began during the first war and had its birth in the great timber areas of Washington. Today the company's main activities are still centred in the Seattle area, but timber has given way to metal and the saw and the plane have been replaced by the latest manufacturing techniques.
This book describes in detail all the aircraft designed and produced by Boeing, lists every individual Boeing aeroplane, and illustrates them with hundreds of rare photo-graphs and a large number of L. E. Bradford's now famous three-view drawings.
