The Boeing 247 - The First Modern Commercial Airplane.
This is the airplane that prompted Douald Douglas to create the DC-Series
Today it is still likely that most people have flown on a Boeing-made jet such as the Boeing 757, 767, 777, or Boeing 787. You walk aboard into a warm cabin and take your place in a not as comfortable but still narrow seat. The flight attendant will tell you to fasten your seat belt, keep your seat-back upright, and what to do if the cabin looses pressure at 35,000 feet. It all seems boring and routine to many. Did you ever wonder where it all began? The name Boeing didn't appear overnight, even though more than one generation of Americans associated the name Boeing with military aircraft. $4.99 Delivered wirelessly. Just click on the cover.
