Description
Boeing: Planemaker to the World
This comprehensive book chronicles the remarkable history of the Boeing Company, from its early beginnings in the Pacific Northwest through its evolution into the world's leading aircraft manufacturer. The book covers Boeing's journey from The Early Years and The Flying Pullmans through The War Years and Postwar Military Aircraft into The Jet Age and beyond.
Featured are detailed accounts of iconic aircraft including the B-17 Flying Fortress (Model 299), the B-29 B-50 Superfortress (Model 345), the B-47 Stratojet (Model 450), and the complete 707-767 Jetliner Family. The book includes extensive coverage of Boeing Vertol, The Other Boeing divisions, Boeing Aerospace, and looks forward to A New Era.
Richly illustrated with photographs spanning decades of aviation history, from military bombers and transport aircraft to commercial jetliners serving airlines around the globe. The book includes charts and production closeups, corporate organization details, and comprehensive coverage of Boeing's impact on both military and civilian aviation.
From the Model 40 mail plane to the revolutionary 707 jetliner, from Flying Fortresses over Europe to modern wide-body aircraft, this volume documents Boeing's central role in shaping aviation history and its continued leadership in aircraft manufacturing worldwide.
