Great Panorama of Boeing History
On one end, the last flyable Boeing 247D, with such advances as the the first such aircraft to fully incorporate advances such as all-metal (anodized aluminium) semimonocoque construction, a fully cantilevered wing, retractable landing gear and an autopilot (thanks WikiPedia). On the other end, the massive 747-8F that can haul massive loads across oceans with state-of-the-art fly-by-wire & a glass cockpit plus all the Boeing 247's features. Figured this composition was worth a share.
