Slick Book Full of Historic Photos, Information
Boeing Stores AGS BookWorks have released The Story of The
Boeing Company, the first complete, full-color coffee-table
book chronicling the history of the world’s leading aerospace
company.
The book details the stories of the companies that today make
up today's Boeing -- Boeing, Douglas, McDonnell, North
American Aviation, and Hughes Space & Communications --
beginning with the birth of the company in 1916, and continuing
through almost nine decades of innovation in commercial, defense
and space flight. Nearly 300 pages of exhaustively researched text
and rare archival photographs tell the remarkable saga of the
people and products that built a company that is still exploring
new frontiers.
Written by renowned aviation author Bill Yenne,
The Story of The Boeing Company contains many
never-before-seen photographs from company archives. The story of
Boeing mirrors the story of flight, and the company has been
responsible for a Who’s Who of aviation achievements,
including the Boeing B-17, B-29, 707 and 747; the Douglas World
Cruisers and DC-3; the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II; the North American
P-51; and the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft.
Yenne is a San Francisco-based author of more than three dozen
books on aviation and other historical topics. He previously
authored highly-regarded histories of Boeing, North American and
McDonnell Douglas.
The Story of The Boeing Company is distributed
exclusively by Boeing Stores, Inc. The 11- by 11-inch, 288-page
hardbound book contains more than 300 photographs and
illustrations. The book (ISBN 0-9727382-2-3) retails for $45.00
[It's $40.50 until the end of July --ed].
