By October 1957, Boeing had chalked up orders for its first jetliner from 12 airlines: Air France, Air India, BOAC, Braniff, Continental, Cubana, Lufthansa, Pan American, Qantas, Sabena and TWA. This advert, placed in the October 14, 1957 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology, promised comfort and quiet at 600 miles an hour in America's first jet airliner.
