Boeing 707/KC-135 Hard back

Although the Boeing 707 is known worldwide as the machine which took civil aviation from the piston engine era into that of the jet engine, what is very often not known is that its existence was only made possible by the success of its immediate predecessor, the KC-135, a flying fuel tanker used for refueling the strategic B-52 bomber, also made by Boeing. Although these two models came from the same prototype, the "Dash 80", which first flew in July 1954, they were in fact two radically different machines sharing only a limited number of common features. This book features several versions of the Boeing 707 and KC-135. Legend of the Sky; Breffort; 240 pages.
