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.
