The first flight of the #Boeing 247 took place #onthisday in 1933. With a cruising speed of 188 mph, the 247 was faster than the U.S. Army’s most modern fighter at the time. #avgeek

Although initially less successful as a commercial passenger jetliner than the #Boeing design, the #Douglas DC-8 outlasted the 707. Moreover, many freighter versions are still in operation. Have you ever flown on a DC-8? #AviationEvolutions

The #Douglas DC-8 was developed during the mid-1950s as a competitive design to #Boeing’s 707. #United Air Lines chose Douglas and launched domestic #transcontinental jet service with the DC-8-10 series in September 1959. #AviationEvolutions

Within the span of a single lifetime, #Boeing went from producing piston-engine, propeller-driven aircraft to modern jetliners. Shown here in an United Airlines photo are the model 247, introduced in 1933, next to the iconic 747, introduced in 1970. #avgeek

During the 1980s, #Qantas purchased six of the #Boeing #767-200ER (ER for extra range), and forty-one of the 767-300ER, which proved ideal for the carrier’s expansion into the Asian market. #AviationEvolutions

The #767 was the first two-engine widebody airliner to be produced by #Boeing. A smaller widebody airliner than the 747, the 767 had a capacity between 200 and 300 passengers and the range for most transoceanic routes. #AviationEvolutions
