The Boeing 707 family - that includes the forerunner Model 367-80,
the KC-135 series of military transports and the slightly smaller
Model 720 - was the pioneer of the sweptback wing, incorporating
podded engines borrowed from the B-47 military bomber. It was the
aircraft that many regard as the design that really ushered in the
Jet-Age. This new book from the established aviation historian
Graham Simons examines the entire course of the Boeing 707 s
history, charting an impressive design evolution and illustrating
the many ways in which the 707 s legacy continues to be felt to
this day. In laying the foundation for Boeing's preeminence on the
word s jetliner market during the 1980s and 90s, the 707 paved the
way for future innovations in both civilian and military fields and
Graham Simons has put together an image-packed history that records
the historic and landmark milestones of this iconic aircraft type.
