- Description from box:
Taken from documents, pictures and film stored in the Boeing Historical Archives, the words and images in the book and video track the passage of Boeing people and products from their beginnings with the heritage companies to their entry into the new millennium.
- The Book: A Brief History of The Boeing Company
The book describes how Boeing, North American Aviation, the Douglas Aircraft Company and the McDonnell Aircraft Corp. grew from fledgling enterprises into industry giants. It charts the way the companies evolved, diversified to meet the needs of the turbulent 20th century, and finally merged as a single company and the world leader in aerospace. The narrative further explains how the jet and the space ages began and follows the development of new technologies. Authenticated pictures and descriptions of key products and biographies of company founders provide background data for historians.
- The Video: Boeing in the 20th Century
Starting in 1916, using news clips, pictures and film, the video follows historic world events and shows how they influenced the key events in aerospace history. The video also shows how the heritage companies met the demands of war and peace. It captures the sights and sounds of first flights and launches, the thundering shadow of warplanes, the white roar of rockets and the battle between Boeing and Douglas for the flying public's commercial business.
