The Boeing 747 was first introduced to the world in 1969 and immediately became a major success. It turned the Seattle-based company into the world’s premier aircraft manufacturer. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, a series of upgrades were made to the baseline 747 airliner. The 747-300, announced in 1980, adde... read more
