Summary of Boeing 747 (Osprey Civil Aircraft)
Written by a senior air traffic controller, this book tells the story of the Boeing 747, the original "Jumbo Jet", describing how it came about due to Boeing's loss of a US Air Force competition for a new outsized transport aircraft (won by the colossal Lockheed Galaxy) and revolutionized world travel after its introduction in 1969, effectively sealing the fate of the once-dominant ocean liner.Aviation Books
