Member Mark H Goodrich recently wrote White Paper on the 100-year history of The Boeing Company, published in the October 2016 issue of Position Report magazine, the official publication of the association for the Retired Airline Pilots of Canada, or RAPCAN.

The article is entitled “The Boeing Story: A Tale of Capitalism”, and can be read in its entirety as published, on the personal web-site of Mark Goodrich. It is under the White Papers section at http://markhgoodrich.org.

The early history of The Boeing Company is described in great detail, including many photographs of the early Boeing aircraft. As one example, below is a picture of Bill Boeing in his first airplane – a Glenn Martin TA – taken in 1915.
