The collection consists of 150 8" x 10" official Boeing Airplane Company photographs of the production of planes at the Boeing factory on the Duwamish River in Seattle. The photographs document facilities and equipment for testing various airplane parts; airplane parts and sections under construction, including a gun mount, frames for airplane wings and bodies, connection beams, and engines; parts installation and plane assembly; and views of completed planes. Also includes photographs of test models and full size mock ups, including a mock up for the Model 200 Monomail, and for the military Model XP-9, which was never produced. The collection represents the range of planes produced by Boeing during this period: private and commercial passenger planes, mail planes for delivering airmail under Boeing's recent U.S. Postal Dept. contract, pursuit and fighter planes for the military; and planes for pilot training at the Boeing School of Aeronautics. Models include flying boats, biplanes, and monoplanes. Each photograph is embossed with the Boeing logo and stamped on verso with "Boeing Off. Photo" and the Boeing logo.
