It was a one-way, direct flight from Detroit, Michigan to Miami, Florida way back in the early 1970s.
The 747 that I flew on was HUGE! There were maybe 25 people flying that day and the humongous aircraft was nearly empty.
With row after row of seats, a lounge and a full meal provided I felt as if I were flying aboard a first-class luxury hotel.
In Boeing 747 A Legends Of Flight Illustrated History, part of Schiffer Publishing’s Legends Of Flight series, author Wolfgang Borgmann offers a complete tour of the aircraft along with its history.
Inside photos detail the interior and exterior of the 747, its engines, cockpit, passenger and luggage areas, galley and more.
Complete cutaway schematics show just how massive the aircraft was and photos highlight just how many airlines used the impressive aircraft.
Learn all about the history of the 747 from its conception, development and final assembly.
It is truly amazing how versatile and accommodating the 747 was.
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." — 2 Corinthians 9:7
