Boeing 727
First flown in 1963, the Boeing 727 was skillfully designed to outclass its competitors and remained without a direct rival for nearly two decades.
This jetliner was capable of being operated from short, unimproved airfields, while requiring minimal ground service equipment. In flight, it was a dream—fast, efficient, quiet, and comfortable.
Although this book is about an airplane, it is as much about the people at Boeing who were undaunted and took the financial risks necessary to build a truly outstanding machine.
Readers will learn technical aspects of the 727, along with taking a close look at the brilliant minds and reasoning behind the design through personal interviews and examining archival data.
For the hobbyist, a model-building chapter is also included, which covers techniques for both first-time and experienced modelers.[AuthorName]By Dan Dornseif[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Dan Dornseif has been directly involved with aviation for over three decades and is currently a Boeing 737 captain for a major airline in the United States.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]644 color and b/w photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]Triumph in the Skies[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]644 color and b/w photos[/ColorPattern]
