Boeing is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft, and it controls more than half of the market for jet aircraft, next to military jets and helicopters, missile systems and space technology.

In 1916 William Boeing and Navy engineer Conrad Westervelt founded the Pacific Aero Products Company in Seattle, and they built the B&W seaplane. When one year later Westervelt was recalled to active service in World War I, the company was renamed to the Boeing Airplane Company. The contacts with the Navy proved to be interesting, because during World War I the company manufactured aircraft for Navy training and patrol.

Next to building airplanes the company at first also exploited an airline, and in 1919 they started the first international postal line between Seattle and Victoria in British Columbia. In 1927 Boeing contracted with the U.S. Mail to distribute the mail between Chicago, Illinois and San Francisco, California, and it built its first commercial airplane, the Model 40.
In 1929 Boeing merged with engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, and they founded the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation. Its growth was spectacular and it subsequently purchased several regional airlines, and in 1931 it was renamed to United Air Lines. But in 1934 they had to deal with federal antitrust actions and were required to split up the company into three different companies; the Boeing Airplane Company, Pratt & Whitney and United Airlines.

During the first 97 years the company expanded through strategic mergers and acquisitions of storied aerospace pioneering companies into the $81.7 billion dollar company it is today.

    There was no funding for production, but the Boeing aircraft company took it upon themselves to begin development anyway, in hopes that with the right product, the military would indeed put in an order for more. Boeing’s best minds went to work developing prototypes that could meet the Army Air Corp’s request of an aircraft that could deliver 20,000 pounds of bombs, at a distance of 2,667 miles, and at speeds of 400 miles per hour (Anderton, 1979, p. 11). The Army Air Corp liked the design submitted by Boeing and contracted for several to be built for static and flight testing in August of 1940, followed by an order of 14 more for testing and 250 for the war effort nine months later. With more of America’s leadership getting on board with the program, the order was increased further to 500 aircraft in January of 1942. This created a logistical and production challenge to Boeing right…
