This engineer joined the Boeing company in 1962 as head of their aeronautical electronics division and soon rose to vice president, where he gained fame for spearheading the race to develop the 747 jumbo jet, a massive management and engineering achievement (as well as an enormous financial gamble) that ushered in a new age of air transport; he served as president from 1972 to 1985, their longest ever. Signed Postal Cover, 6½" X 3½", cancelled in Jamaica, New York on 12 April 1970. Single 20-cent "Audubon 1785-1851" air mail stamp at upper right. NOT a First Day Cover, but left side bears a large circular purple inkstamp commemorating "First TWA 747 Service New York-Paris." To the right of this, in the "sweet spot," Stamper signs large and bold in black ballpoint. Most unusual. Comes with original transmittal envelope and TNS (secretarial), 1p, 7¼" X 10¼", Seattle, WA, 1970 May 11. Addressed to Paul Johnston. Thanks him for "the personal interest of so many people in the 747. we're very proud of this newest member of our jet family.".…
