Boeing (Images of America)
Martin W. Bowman
The Boeing Company was founded by William E. Boeing, the son of a
wealthy timberman. At the age of thirty-four, Boeing took up flying for
his own amusement. After a couple of rides, he became convinced that he
could build a better aeroplane. He and Commander G. Conrad Westervelt, a
Navy officer assigned to engineering work at a shipyard in Seattle,
Washington, decided to build a pair of seaplanes. By December 1915, an
aeroplane called the 'B & W Seaplane' was under construction in a
hangar on the east shore of Lake Union. Bluebird, the first B & W,
was completed in early 1916, marking the modest beginning of aircraft
production at the Boeing Company. It flew for the first time on 29 June
1916.
