Historical background of the Boeing 747-100

The Boeing 747-100 was the first representative of the famous wide-body passenger aircraft family that debuted in the United States at the end of the 1960s. Its first flight took place on February 9, 1969, and this model entered commercial routes already in 1970. The Boeing 747-100 was mainly operated by Pan Am and other international carriers during the "golden era" of civil aviation. It enabled a record number of passengers to be transported on very long routes, revolutionizing intercontinental travel during the Cold War era and beyond – until newer versions of the Jumbo Jet became available.
