DESCRIPTION:
In 1933, the Boeing Aircraft Company set a new standard for air transportation by introducing the Boeing 247 a graceful, all-metal, twin-engined aircraft that was 50 percent faster than the competition. Van der Linden traces the development of the 247 and the odyssey from its brief period of dominan
The history of the development of the airplane is described in detail and there is a ton of useful information about the service Bill Hardrath I volunteer at the Museum of Flight and am trying to tell the story of our 247. This book is proving to be invaluable. The history of the development of the airplane is described in detail and there is a ton of useful information about the service history of all of the 247s..

A fair bit of ink is devoted to the internal decision making process and, ultimately, how wrong they got it regarding the 247 and how doing so threw the door open for Douglas to create the DC3 and take an early lead in the commercial aircraft market.I would certainly highly recommend this book fo. 7" according to Scott M.
