“A lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched overview of the aerospace giant’s first century.” —Aviation Week
 
Over the course of a century, the Boeing Company grew from a small outfit operating out of a converted boathouse—producing a single pontoon plane made from canvas and wood—into the world’s largest aerospace company. The thrilling story of the celebrated organization is filled with ambition, ingenuity, and a passion to exceed expectations.
 
In this extensively illustrated book, Pulitzer Prize–nominated author Russ Banham recounts the tale of a company and an industry like no other—one that has put men on the moon, defended the free world, and changed the way we live.
 
“Higher ably commemorates Boeing’s enduring achievement, gliding nimbly through its triumphs of design, engineering and manufacture and, not least, its memorable contributions to wars won.” —The Wall Street Journal
