Boeing 737 - 100 and 200
NEW
The Boeing 737 was developed as a smaller alternative to the 707 and 727, designed for shorter routes with fewer passengers. It first flew in 1967 and entered commercial service with Lufthansa as the 737-100. A major order from United Airlines led to the slightly larger 737-200, which became the standard model. Although early sales were slow, the 737-100 and -200 proved highly successful, laying the foundation for the ongoing 737 family, including the modern 737 MAX.
By the time production of the 737-200 ended in 1988, over 1.000 had been built, including military and cargo versions. While most have been retired, some still operate in remote areas of Canada and developing countries.
With over 150 images, this book explores the history of the Boeing 737-100 and -200 and the many airlines and operators that have used them worldwide.
