Boeing FB, Fighter

1926 - Boeing F 3 B, Fighter

1929 - Boeing P 12 E, Fighter Aircraft

The P12 was one of the most successful fighter aircraft in the US between the wars. In both services, Army Air Service and Navy 477 of all versions were in service (P12, -B, -C, -D, and -E and -F with an all metal fuselage). Originally, the development of the P12 was done on the initiative of Boeing.  

1932 - Boeing P 26 A Peashooter, Fighter interceptor

The P 26, affectionallz called the "Peashooter" by it's pilots, was the first all metall monoplane fighter aircraft to be flown by the USAAC. It was considerable faster than other fighter aircraft of it's time. Due to the high speeds, installation of flaps was necessary to reduce landing speeds. Boeing designed the P 26 in 1931, originally designated the model 248, from december 1931 the XP 936. Maiden flight was on 20.03.1932 . The USAAC purchased 111 in total, the last 25 being B- and C-models.  

1933 - Boeing 247, airliner

1934 - Boeing F 4 B, Fighter

1942 - Boeing B 17 E Flying Fortress, Heavy Bomber

The B17 was, together with the B24 Liberator, the standard bomber of the US Air Force. B17 were seen in Reports and movies much more often, but with 8400 units build, the B17 had the smaller part of the war missions.  

1942 - Boeing B 29 Superfortress, Heavy strategic bomber

The B29 was build to follow the B17 and B24. It was designed for high-altitude missions with remote con- trolled guns. The Superfortress was in service mostly in the pacific theatre, where the "Enola Gay" dropped the first nuclear bomb over Hiroshima.  

1942 - Boeing Model 344, Long range flying boat

1948 - Boeing B 50 Superfortress, Heavy bomber

1948 - Boeing C 97 Stratofreighter, Transport Aircraft

1952 - Boeing B 47 Stratojet, Bomber and reconniassance missions

1952 - Boeing B 52 G Stratofortress, Heavy strategic bomber

The B52 is the biggest bombing aircraft in service with the USAF since it was build in the 50ies. It is used as a nuclear bomber, as a conventional strategic bomber, as a tactical low altitude bomber and as a platform for military and civil missiles and experi- mental aircraft (X15).  

1954 - Boeing B 707-320 C, Long Range Airliner

The 707 was designed by Boeing as the model 367, a long range airliner. The 707-320 was a combined passenger- and freight airliner. The 707 has been in service from the 50ies to the lat 80ies in many variations worldwide.  

1963 - Boeing B 727, Midrange airliner

The 727 was very popular from the 60ies to the 80ies, until it was follwed by newer Boeing types and the smaller Airbuses (A310/A320).  

1967 - Boeing B 737-200, Shortrange / midrange airliner

The Boeing 7373 is one of the most popular airliners ever produced. Since its maiden flight the 737 has been modified to different subtypes. So the 737 is a family of types with some of its members still pro- duced in the 90ies.  

1969 - Boeing B 747-200B Jumbo Jet, Heavy long range airliner

The Jumbo Jet was designed as a wide body airliner on intercontinental routes. More than 25 years she was the unquestioned queen on these routes. Some of the Jumbos were on military duty as transports and flying command posts (like Air Force One). Some 837 were build. (drwg. 747-400)  

1969 - Boeing B 747 400 Jumbo Jet, Heavy long range airliner

Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, Flying Tanker

1972 - Boeing E 3 A Sentry, AWACS

1974 - Boeing 737 300, Short- and midrange airliner

1981 - Boeing B 767-300ER, Long range airliner

The 767 is designed to follow the 707 and smaller 747 models. With its introduction a discussion took place if biengine aircraft are reliable and secure enough for intercontinental flights.  

1981 - Boeing B 767-400, Long range airliner

1982 - Boeing B 757-200, Airliner

The 757 was designed for those routes, where a 737 is too small and the Jumbo Jet is too expensive to operate. It is one of the first full electronic airliners to become operational.  

1982 - Boeing B 757-300, Airliner

1985 - Boeing 737 500, Short- and midrange airliner

1992 - Boeing AH 64 D Apache longbow, Attack Helicopter

1995 - Boeing Sikorsky RAH 66 Comanche, Attack Helicopter

1997 - Boeing 777-300, Widebody airliner

1998 - Boeing 717-200, Short range airliner

2000 - Boeing B 737-900, Shortrange / midrange airliner

2000 - Boeing CH 47 SD Chinook, Tactical Transport Helicopter

2000 - Boeing X 32 Joint Strike Fighter, Carrier-based fighter bomber / experimental

2001 - Boeing F/A 18 E/F Super Hornet, Carrier based fighter bomber

The Super Hornet is the follow-up to the F/A 18 Hornet. from he exterior, it looks very similar to the Hornet, but it is virtually a complete new aircraft. It can be distiguished easily by the position and shape of the air intakes.
