In pictures: 40th anniversary of the jumbo jet
Oh my. So many lovely photos, like this one against the moon and another contrasting the 747 and a Mumbai slum.
Jonathan Glancey’s Classics of everyday design piece on the 747 is worth reading too, especially as it does what the BBC’s 40th anniversary story failed to: contrast the Jumbo with Concorde, which was to have its first flight within a month of the Boeing debut.
