Boeing 747 (Legends of Flight)

de (Auteur)

More than half a century ago the Boeing 747 took to the air for the first time; it is considered the first large-capacity civilian airliner. Lovingly nicknamed the "Jumbo Jet," the aircraft quickly became the flagship of any airline that operated it. While sales were initially modest, the unmistakable four-engine jet became a bestseller after much-improved and more-advanced versions became available in the 1980s.

Though recent technological developments have caused the age of the big four-engine passenger jet to slowly come to an end, the elegant 747 is undoubtedly an aviation legend that still turns heads at airports. Sadly, after a 50-year-plus service career, the last 747s are due to come off the factory line in 2022.

The history of the 747's design, development, and operational use is presented in detail in this book, as is its use by many of the world's most famous airlines, including TWA, Pan Am, Lufthansa, Qantas, British Airways, El Al, Air France, and nearly 100 others throughout its long career.
Governments and militaries worldwide have also flown the 747, for missions including ferrying NASA's former space shuttle fleet, and the current US Air Force One presidential aircraft.

Technical specifications for the 747 and its variants, as well as period photographs, bring to life the fascinating history of one of Boeing's most iconic aircraft.

Boeing 747 - Memories of the Jumbo Jet / Erinnerungen an den Jumbojet

de (Auteur)

In October 2022, the last Boeing 747 rolled off the production line at the gigantic factory in Everett, USA. After 52 years, production of the 'Jumbo Jet' will come to an end. To mark this significant occasion, Deluis Fine Books has published a unique monograph of this icon of civil aviation.

After years of research, Andreas Spaeth, one of the best-known aviation journalists in Europe, has compiled information, documents and images that have never been shown together before.
Geoffrey Thomas, founder of AirlineRatings.net, provided color photographs from Boeing's factory archives and printed here for the first time.
And 747 pilot and gifted photographer Christiaan van Heijst contributed a breathtaking photo series in which he captured his flying experiences as a "cowboy of the skies".

With its legendary upper deck, the 747 stands for the glamour of flying. At the same time, with more than 500 seats, it made air travel so much more affordable. With smooth flight characteristics, the sheer size and distinctive hump have inscribed themselves in the collective memory.
Any passenger with some interest in airplanes remembers their first flight in the 747 'Jumbo Jet'.

This well designed and lavishly illustrated book tells the story of the "Queen of the Skies" which made history and changed aviation forever.
