Wide-body by Clive Irving
The story of the Jumbo Jet - the Boeing 747, with its characteristic "hump" - the workhorse of airlines the world over. The book tells how the plane was designed, sold and produced. The story goes back to the 1920s when passenger flying was still a novelty and Boeing made mail-runs by air.
