Synopsis:
747 is the thrilling story behind "the Queen of the Skies"—the Boeing 747—as told by Joe Sutter, one of the most celebrated engineers of the twentieth century, who spearheaded its design and construction. Sutter's vivid narrative takes us back to a time when American technology was cutting-edge and jet travel was still glamorous and new. With wit and warmth, he gives an insider's sense of the larger than life-size personalities—and the tensions—in the aeronautical world.
Review:
As magnificent and soaring as the big bird itself, Joe Sutter s true story is . . . fascinating. --Homer Hickam, author of Rocket Boys
Sutter had perhaps the best overall view of all aspects of the 747 s development in the mid 1960s. --Publishers Weekly
