The Boeing Company is the oldest continually-operating airframe manufacturer in the United States, and among the largest in the world, so that to record in any detail the aircraft it has produced is a task of major proportions. Mr. Bowers has obviously taken immense trouble to collect as much relevant data as possible and one would be hard pressed to think of a facet of Boeing aircraft on which he has not touched. Every aircraft type and variant is mentioned and described in considerable detail, including aircraft built but not design by Boeing, such as the Blackburn Shark and the Consolidated Catalina. There is a profusion of photographs and three-view drawings, and a multiplicity of dates and facts.

Curtiss-Wright designed and built aircraft for military, commercial, and private markets. But it was the Wright engine division and the longstanding relationship with the US military that would help the company through the difficult years of the Great Depression. In 1937, the company developed the P-36 fighter aircraft, resulting in the largest peacetime aircraft order ever given by the Army Air Corps.
