Product Information
The William E. Boeing Story - A Gift of Flight is the first-ever full-length biography of William E. Boeing; the father of commercial aviation. Boeing's story is an exciting one complete with bootleggers, kidnappers and a disastrous run-in with President Franklin Roosevelt and future Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. Boeing's story covers every aspect of early aviation starting with his first ride in a balloon in 1896 to the christening of the revolutionary jet-powered Dash-80 / 707 in 1955. Along the way, Boeing developed some of the world's most iconic airplanes including the P-26 Peashooter, the Boeing 247, the B-17 Flying Fortress and the mighty B-29 Superfortress. The Boeing Family gave author David D. Williams unprecedented access to the Boeing Family Archives which contained thousands of never before seen photos, diaries, and personal letters. This treasure trove of primary sources allowed Williams to create an extraordinarily vivid and accurate portrait of this influential yet private man.

Reviews
"The book, which took Williams four years to write, is full of bootleggers, kidnappers and political run-ins, and covers every aspect of early aviation, from Boeing's first ride in a balloon in 1896 to the Dash 80 jet in 1955. "The William Boeing Story: A Gift of Flight" is written in 70 short chapters. Williams chuckles, explaining that a close friend told him, " 'I read to fall asleep, so if you keep your chapters to about 10 minutes, that would be great.'" Williams did so. "Bill Boeing was not creating this company for money, but because he felt it was the right thing at the right time. People weren't working for Bill in employer relationships. They were a group of friends trying to build something better, and that led to the largest aerospace company in the world," Williams says."
