In one hundred years, The Boeing Company went from producing a single canvas and wooden pontoon plane in a converted boathouse to being the world’s largest aerospace company. The thrilling story of the celebrated organization is one filled with ambition, ingenuity, and a passion to exceed expectations. In this lavishly illustrated book, Pulitzer Prize-nominated author Russ Banham recounts the tale of a company and an industry like no other—one that has put men on the moon, defended the free world, and changed the way humans live in their world.
