$14.93
Boeing's 747 commercial jumbo jet was the most ambitious project in aviation history. It was a revolutionary design that was developed, manufactured and introduced into regular service in less than four years. The Boeing 747 was the result of a unique collaboration between the Boeing Company and the airline industry, especially Pan American World Airways. The Queen of the Skies Arises traces the development of this aircraft and its first year of commercial operation. Despite difficulties with its Pratt & Whitney jet engines, doubts about its economic viability, and even several hijackings, the Boeing 747 set new standards for innovation, safety, commercial aircraft performance, and passenger satisfaction in 1970 - its first year of operation.
