The first flight of Boeing. How was it

On June 15, 1916 (exactly 106 years ago), the first Boeing model of a light seaplane on two Boeing 1 B&W floats took to the air. Due to the lateness of the hired professional pilot, the trial sample was tested directly by the inventor, American engineer William Edward Boeing.

The first flight of the aircraft took place on Lake Union (Seattle, Washington), on the shore of which the world's first Boeing was constructed in a boathouse. The Boeing Airplane Company, established in the same year, will soon begin producing hundreds of fighter jets, mail and seaplanes.
