Lots of color photos. Photos of older aircraft are mostly recent photos of restored planes.I recommend it if you're into climb rates, engine model numbers, service ceilings, and other minutiae. If you're interested in the company and the people in it, its struggles and triumphs, you'll get very little of that here..

Mathieu le Sueur Heavy, gloss paper, large full plate colour photos. This nice-to-behold book covers the history of Boeing, dedicating about 50% to pre-war military and commercial models - the remainder to post-war commercial jets.For example: the Boeing 707/720 chapter is covered in 18 pages - with scope ranging from the prototype Dash 80, through to US Air Force CFM re-engined KC-135 tankers. Nearly all pages contain at least one bright glossy photo to accompany the text.A good balance between technical & political issues, commercial and military types - even i. Finally Michael Persico Waited for more than a year for this book to arrive. It did not disappoint me. It is a Guy Norris book which means it is well written and well researched. I read it in few hours and loved it. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because I would have like more tech stuff. But bravo, learned a load.
Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner has already generated more excitement--and more orders--than any commercial airplane in the company’s history. With hundreds of photographs, Boeing 787 Dreamliner closely details the design and building of Boeing’s new twin-engine jet airliner, as well as the drama behind its launch. And here, from every angle, is the Dreamliner itself, in all its gleaming readiness to rule the air.. But archrival Boeing responded: Not so fast. This book offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the first all-new airplane developed by Boeing since its 1990 launch of the 777. Here are the key players, the controversies, the critical decisions about materials and technology--the plastic reinforced with carbon fiber that will make this m
But the real stories here—and why the airplane is important, as well as why it is late—are its extensive use of composite materials and the global outsourcing of component design…Norris tells the story straight—as one of breakthroughs and breakdowns, while Wagner’s often striking photos bring the text to life. Once the 787 Dreamliner enters service, there will doubtless be other books; but this one provides a useful survey of the development story to date. - Coastviews Magazine. Moving on to the 787, we see how early artist renderings bore little relationship to the final airplane; that handsome shark-like fin, for example, eventually became just another jetliner tail in the end. The authors discuss not only the design challenges that the Boeing engineers faced but also the advanced systems and new technology that the aircraft features.The accessible and readable text makes this volume one that anyone interested in
