Boeing was founded in 1916 in Seattle, Washington, by William E. Boeing and George Conrad Westervelt. Initially named "Pacific Aero Products Co.," it was later renamed Boeing Airplane Company in 1917. The company's early focus was on producing seaplanes for the military during World War I.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Boeing expanded into commercial aviation, developing the Model 247, the first modern airliner.
During World War II, it became a major supplier of military aircraft, including the iconic B-17 and B-29 bombers.
The post-war period saw Boeing emerge as a leader in commercial aviation with jets like the 707 and 747 revolutionizing air travel.
Today, Boeing is a global aerospace leader, producing commercial planes like the 737 and 787 Dreamliner, as well as military aircraft, satellites, and space exploration vehicles.
