General Aviation News, July 2006""The Story of the Boeing Company"
is a massive book, nearly a foot square and weighing an impressive
four pounds, which tells the story not only of Boeing itself, but
of the many other firms that have combined to become the world's
largest aerospace company. Its 35 chapters are supplemented by
helpful boxes, which provide details of each airplane and, in most
cases, production figures. Best of all, however, is the treasure
trove of photographs and drawings illustrating the generous text.
For readers who can't get enough of the great Boeing 314 Clippers,
the elegant Model 307 Stratoliner and the company's iconic B017
Flying Fortress, this book comes close to satisfying...Author Yenne
is a Boeing enthusiast who assures us that the legacy of the past
lives on at today's company. 'The pioneering spirit that built the
companies that now are part of Boeing is still alive and well, ' he
states. That's Boeing, and that's the ultimate message of this fine
book."
