Abstract
B&W was formed on July 15, 1916 by William E. Boeing and George Conrad Westervelt and after to the initial ones of its two founders. A little later its name changed into "Pacific Aero Products", and a year later, it was renamed "Boeing Airplane Company". In 1917, with the entry of the United States into the war, the Navy ordered 50 seaplanes of drive Model C. This was the first major order of Boeing. In 1923 Boeing manufactured a postal transport aircraft, Model 40A, and in 1927 it won a contract to ensure the air-mail connection between San Francisco and Chicago. It then created "Boeing Air Transport" to deal with its activities related to air transports. During the first year, nearly 2.000 passengers were transported and leading the company to create planes especially studied for the transport of the people. As a result of this, Model 80 was launched. In the years which followed, Boeing started to acquire many firms involved n the manufacture of planes, engines, and airline companies and in 1929, it changed its name into "United Aircraft and Transportation Corporation". In 1934, Boeing became a large company involved in the manufacture of the planes, engines, transporting the postal mail, dealing with the airports and ensuring operations of many air lines. However, under the pressure from an anti-monopoly act forbidding the manufacturers to exploit air lines, its creators sold their shares and "United Aircraft and Transportation" was divided into three entities: United Airlines which was responsible for air transport, United Aircraft which was responsible for manufacturing units in the East of the country, and Boeing Airplane Company which was responsible for manufacturing units in the West of the country.
