Speaker Topic: Boeing Seaplanes, Celebrating the First 100 Years
“Bill Boeing began designing and building airplanes in 1916 with the Model 1 (known as the “B&W”), a seaplane. How did Mr. Boeing become interested in aviation, learn to fly a seaplane and what motivated him to build an airplane and start an aircraft manufacturing company? This talk will preview the Company’s early seaplane history and look at the different models it built.”
