Tiger 747 tells the story of the Boeing 747 in service with the
Flying Tiger Line, Seaboard World and Federal Express, with an
individual history of the thirty-four jumbos operated. An in-depth
historical essay covers the history of the airline, starting with
the American Volunteer Group pilots in China in World War 2 that
evolved into a fly-by-night cargo outfit in the propliner era,
growing in size and sophistication until the Flying Tiger Line was
a global brand in air cargo in the golden days of the jet age; with
an in-depth look at Seaboard World and Fedex who make up a vital
part of the story. A second epic chapter covers the 747 from the
early days of the Boeing Airplane Co in the early days of powered
flight right up to the latest models, with an emphasis on the 747
Classic. This unique book also includes technical information and
descriptions, and pilot and crew memories. An essential addition to
every aviation enthusiast's bookshelf.
