Awful
Incredibly boring, uninteresting book. With no experience in the aviation or airline industry, the author relies on few interviews and going through the memoirs of some executives.

A History of Boeing
A fine brushstroke look at how Boeing got started, the men who built the company and its entry into the jet age.

Rating: 2 out of 5
not a "high flyer"
This book did not interest me at all. It takes first about 200 pages to come to the most important time for Boeing in the commercial airline industrie and even this is not well documented. Written by someone with obvious no feeling with the airline industrie and could have been well written in no more than 100 pages.
