In the past century, The Boeing Company has gone from a small local business, making canvas-and-wood seaplanes in a converted boathouse, to the world’s largest aerospace company. The story of Boeing and the aerospace industry is filled with the struggles and triumph’s of people with the passion to do what has never been done before.
