THE BOEING COMPANY PT 1
Developing aircraft requires huge expenditure. One company has on a number
of occasions bet more than it’s entire net worth. The company was Boeing and its
gambles have paid off making it an aviation giant.
In 1952 Boeing developed a prototype transport plane. They invested 15 million
dollars, which well exceeded the company’s net worth – if the plane failed – it
would have sunk the Company. The prototype was to become one of the greatest
planes of the century - the Boeing 707.
