The Bernard G. Green Boeing Flight Test Collection contains 234 photographs and a small amount of textual material related to flight testing at the Boeing Company. Materials were collected and used by Bernard G. Green during his 35-year tenure as an engineer in the flight test department, circa 1950s-1996. The collection has been divided into series by aircraft model and then arranged chronologically.

The first series focuses on the Boeing 707, 727 and 737 and includes 75 photographs. The photographs depict the aircraft during various tests, including flight evaluations and brake testing; on sales tours in the Middle East, in flight, and on tarmac. Aircraft interiors as well as various facilities, such as offices or test centers, are sometimes featured. Some prints include people, often in large group settings, such as "PV001 crew," with the aircraft. Many individuals are identified by last name only, including Captain Brown, Long, McRoberts, and Ozimek, among others. Identified individuals in this series include Minister of Defense Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Boeing flight attendant Jeff Nouwens.

There is also a small amount of textual materials in this series, including a specification sheet and clipping related to the Boeing 737-400. A July 8, 1990 letter from 737 Chief Project Engineer Jeff Peace is also present. The letter provides recognition for the 737-500 as the "smoothest running program in recent history."

The Boeing 747 series is comprised of 54 photographs and a small amount of textual materials. The photographs depict the various 747 aircraft during tests, in flight, and on the tarmac. Some aircraft are in airline livery, including British Airways, Northwest Orient Airlines, and Seaboard World Airlines. Of note are 12 photographs of the Boeing 747-121City of Everett, which is the prototype 747 and first 747-121 built. This aircraft is on display at The Musuem of Flight in Seattle, Washington.

Textual materials for the Boeing 747 include a clipping about Boeing test pilot Jack Waddell, who was the pilot on the 747's first flight; minutes from a 1971 flight test data system coordination meeting; a 1969 test summary; correspondence from the Federal Aviation Administration; and a system cycles test sheet.

The Boeing 757 series holds 33 photographs that depict the aircraft in flight, on tarmac, and during tests. Several images show aircraft in Eastern Air Lines livery and one print depicts an in-service test for Monarch Airlines. Unique in this series are six photographs related to engine testing in Tucson, Arizona.

Also present is a special recognition award presented to the Flight Test Engineering Fly-By-Wire Team, including Bernard "Bernie" Green, for outstanding performance; a recognition certificate for Green as part of the "Fly-By-Wire Control Law Validation Team;" a laminated decal for the Rolls Royce E4 engine that states the 757 was used to obtain FAA certification of the E4 engine; correspondence about flight test status; and a June 23, 1983 Seattle Times clipping "Will it really fly?" about the 757.

The Boeing 777 series has 52 photographs with related textual materials, including a sales tour map, test plans, program and progress reports, and a first flight plan. The bulk of this series is photographs which depict the 777 on sales tours in the Middle East, during tests, in flight, and on tarmac. Some images depict the 777 crew, both with and without the aircraft. Identified people in this series include 777 project pilot John Cashman and chief of flight test Ken Higgins. Several images depict the 777 at Edwards Air Force Base in California, including four prints with Space Shuttle Discovery.

The last and smallest series is General. It includes 20 photographs and a small amount of textual materials. Of note are four prints that depict Gerald Ford at Boeing Field, circa 1975-1976. The photographs also depict the Boeing Flight Center facility and noise testing on a Cessna 210 Centurion. Four prints feature unidentified people, likely Boeing personnel and mostly in a group setting. There are two images which possibly depict Bernard G. Green.

The textual materials include an employee list for the Flight test Operations and Analysis Unit, which includes "Green, B.G,"; a December 3, 1963 letter from the FAA to Green that confirms his appointment as a Designated Flight Analyst Representative for Boeing; and a photocopy of the September 30, 1970 Boeing Management Information newsletter, which focuses on company estimates for employment levels. Also present are several print-outs from the internet about tanker aircraft.

The bulk of the photographs are in color and are 8x10-inches. Most photographs include numbers on the verso that indicate Boeing Company flight test department, such as "FA91264" or "FA71494". Some prints include brief contextual information, such as names, dates, and locations.
