With the launch of its superjumbo, the A380, Airbus made what looked like an unbeatable bid for commercial aviation supremacy. But archrival Boeing responded: Not so fast. Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner has already generated more excitement--and more orders--than any commercial airplane in the company’s history.

Today, Boeing is the premier aircraft builder in the US and one of the biggest aerospace constructors in the world. To the public Boeing is inextricably linked with some of the greatest names in aircraft design and construction, including the Flying Fortress, the 707, the 747 jumbo jet, and the massive B-52 bomber. This handsomely illustrated history of'the plane builder from Seattle' includes details of every aircraft it has ever built, together with data charts.

Since 1983, The Boeing Company has been manufacturing the Apache helicopter in Mesa, Arizona. The plant puts out about 40 of these beauties than a year. Asembeled entirely by hand (Not Robotic) by 160 workers, all aspects of this machine is a work of art.

Founded in 1916, Boeing Commercial Airplanes is the premier aircraft builder in the USA and one of the biggest aerospace constructors in the world. To the man in the street Boeing is inextricably linked with some of the greatest names in aircraft design and construction: the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, the 707 (the USA’s first commercial jet airliner), the revolutionary 747 ‘jumbo jet’ and the massive B-52 bomber. This comprehensive and handsomely illustrated history of the ‘plane builder from Seattle’ includes details of every aircraft it has ever built, together with data charts and informative text boxes.

The Boeing 747 is a widebody commercial airliner and cargo transport, often referred to by the nickname Jumbo Jet or Queen of the Skies. It is among the world's most recognizable aircraft, and was the first widebody ever produced.

First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.
