Boeing Company B-52 and 707 photographs

Collection — Multiple Containers

Identifier: 1990-06-15-24

Contents of the Collection

The collection contains thirty-eight (38) black-and-white 11x14" photographs from the Boeing Company Historical Archives which relate to the March 18, 1954 Boeing B-52 Stratofortress ceremony with General Nathan Twining; Boeing 707 production; and one photograph of a photograph depicting a 1919 Boeing mailplane first flight from Vancouver to Seattle, Washington. Duplication occurs.

Some photographs have a handwritten H-number on the reverse of image, but the bulk do not have additional captions to provide contextual information. The lone exception is the mailplane photograph of a photograph which includes a printed caption on the front: "First international mail flight Vancouver to Seattle. W.E. Boeing of Seattle leaving Vancouver, March 3, 1919. Photo by S. Thomson, Vancouver, B.C."

Note that one image, which depicts an unidentified man leaning out of what is likely the pilot's window on a in-production Boeing 707, has a piece of paper taped to the front center that reads "Boeing photo album culls." It is possible this refers to all of the photographs in the collection, not just this image.
