Lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched, aviation specialist Ingo Bauernfeind's new Boeing 747 history celebrates more than half a century of an enduring aviation icon that has changed commercial aviation since its maiden flight in 1969.
With personal accounts written by former pilots and crew members, it
covers the aircraft's early history and development, its groundbreaking technology and systems, its remarkable and distinguished commercial career and the numerous variants that have expanded its role and capabilities far beyond those originally
intended by its designers.
