About this Item

This is a group of Boeing Service Guides (issues 3-7, and an index that runs through Jan. 1950) . The guides are in Very Good condition. All of the guides have hole punches so they can be added to a binder. There is a bit of light wear and creasing to the spine ends and corners of the guides (they have been used by mechanics). The text pages are all clean and bright. The index has the most wear and tear, along with a couple of small edge teawrs, and grubbiness to the covers. All of the guides are focused on the Boeing Stratocruiser. "On November 29, 1945 Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) became the launch customer with the largest commercial aircraft order in history, a $24,500,000 order for 20 Stratocruisers. Earlier in 1945 a Boeing C-97 had flown from Seattle to Washington, D. C. Nonstop in six hours and four minutes; with this knowledge, and with Pan Am President Juan Trippe's high regard for Boeing after their success with the Boeing 314 Clipper, Pan Am was confident in ordering the expensive plane."
