Boeing Model 1

Worthy of brief mention as the very first of the long line of Boeing aircraft, the Model 1 was known also as the B & W. Its design was the result of a collaboration between William E. Boeing and a friend, Cdr G.C. Westervelt of the US Navy, and the B & W designation recognised this association. Of wood and fabric construction, extensively strutted and wire-braced, the Model 1 was an unequal-span biplane, with ailerons on the upper wings only. The fuselage, mounted directly on the lower wing, had two open cockpits in tandem, and carried at the rear a tail unit that was a typical braced structure of its period. Power was provided by a Hall-Scott engine mounted in the nose of the fuselage to drive a tractor propeller. Floatplane landing gear included two single-step floats, strut-mounted and braced beneath the fuselage, plus a small float under the tail to prevent disaster in a tail-down landing.

The first of two Model 1s was flown initially on 29 June 1916, by which time Cdr Westervelt had been posted to the other side of the American continent. William Boeing decided, therefore, to establish a company to build these aircraft, and his Pacific Aero Products Company was founded on 15 July 1916. The first company to incorporate the Boeing name, the Boeing Airplane Company, was formed on 26 April 1917. The two Model 1s, construction numbers 1 and 2, were sold to the New Zealand government.

I am so happy to have consulted RAPID RESCORE CREDIT for my credit repairs. I discovered that I had 5 negative items on my credit most especially IRS, delayed payments and loans and over 7 hard inquiries from every bureaus and it hindered me from moving forward in my business. I could not access any loan so I started looking for ways to salvage my condition, I then discovered this specialist (RAPID RESCORE CREDIT) on reddit though there were other ones there but my instinct directed me towards Mr Jackson. I was asked for funds to get started with the job and I gave them the benefit of doubt and made some commitments. My fico score was moved from 609 to an excellent score (799) and all the negatives were deleted from my report. Right now I have a clean profile with wonderful trade lines. I’m recommending their services to anyone in dire need of credit fix, you can reach them via JACKSONRAPIDCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM

Here's how I raised my FICO score from 430 to 785. My diabetic condition caused me to fall behind on my medical bills, which caused my world to fall apart. I searched high and low for someone who could help me repair my credit, but to no avail. In November of last year, I met JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP through a friend they had worked for; they restored my dignity and boosted my credit in 9 days, allowing me to take out a loan and pay for a house. You can reach them at JERRYLINKGROUP@GMAIL.COM or via TEXT at +1 626 514 0620

I strongly JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP: I think they are the best in terms of credit repair. I had worked with different credit companies in the past, but there was no significant change on my credit report. So many credit forums recommended DYI, I tried every credit hack in the book all o no avail. A real estate agent introduced me to Mr. Jerry, who has been helping his clients. Mr. Jerry and his team helped me erase all the negative things on my report, and raised my score to excellent score across all three bureaus. I’m recommending as promised. They are available on gmail: JERRYLINKGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM or +16265140620

We will fix your credit; remove all negative items, clear loans, collections and hard inquiries and also raise your score to 760+ ASAP. These were the exact words from M. Jerry when I contacted him via JERRYLINKGROUP at GMAIL dot COM. I decided to give JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP a try and to my greatest surprise it worked out for me. In less than 11days after all documentation; my score drastically increased to 810 across the three national credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), I could no longer sight evidence of collections, negative marks, mortgage loan, collections and hard inquiries on my credit report. I honestly appreciate Mr. Jerry for fixing my credit.

Jerrylink Credit Group has made a huge impact in my life. When I was in college, I unfortunately had to rely on my credit cards to help me with my expenses. By the time I finished college, I was unable to pay back a lot of those debts. As a result of that I ended up with a very low credit score and quite a few collections, so I sought out Jerrylink Credit Group. They were able to make a huge impact on my credit score. It went from the 500’s to the 700’s in a couple weeks. I couldn’t believe it. With that help, I was able to do so much more, lower the interest rate on financing my car, and to get approved for a great travel credit card which has really helped us while planning our wedding now. It’s been absolutely wonderful and I’m appreciative because I didn’t believe this process. Recommending as promised, you can reach out to them via: JERRYLINKGROUP@GMAIL.COM or text 626 514 0620.

Typically, it takes seven years after removing a negative item for it to be 100% removed from affecting your credit score, but I got to erase all the negative items on my credit report within few weeks by Clever Credit Fix who had got to fix up my bad credit report and clean up all the bad credit records on my credit report. He had to make it possible for me to get approved for 2 credit cards with about $35,000 available on each credit cards. Just email him via CLEVECREDITFIX@GMAIL.COM

A key aspect of your financial life is your credit score. Higher credit scores increase your chances of being approved for loans and credit cards with the best terms, which will save you a lot of money and hassle. You're not alone if your credit score isn't where you want it to be. Of course, there are actions you can do to raise your credit score, such as making on-time payments on your bills and clearing previous debts. But due to the current economic conditions throughout the world, raising your credit score by making on-time payments on your bills and paying off existing debts may take an eternity. If you're determined to put an end to the horror (bad credit score), then I strongly recommend Metronet Credit Solution. They’re reliable, fast and secured, they helped me raise my credit score to excellent from the initial poor score. They’re available on Whats-app: 626 514 0620 and Email: metronetcreditsolution @ gmail . com

Hey guys, thanks for putting this up. I've searched everywhere about information on the Boeing Model 1 and this is one of the only websites that had it. I'm doing research on a project for this and is planning on building a 1 /72 scale model on it. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about building a Boeing 1 model and is there any tips that I should follow. Thanks.

Mr. Elliott,
I fully share your sentiments about the absence of an appropriate tribute to Cdr. Westervelt's contributions to aviation in general and the Boeing Co. In particular. An oversight indeed. Says a lot about the sort of folks that run these institutions.

reply

Bill Elliott, e-mail, 03.03.2011 01:27

Conrad Westervelt was my dad's uncle (his mother's brother). There was a nice tribute to him in the Congressional Record upon his passing. I was somewhat disappointed that there was not much mention of him at either the Boeing Museum in Seattle or the Wright-Patterson Museum in Dayton.

Bill Boeing named the first two airplanes after some ducks that lived on Lake Union where the airplanes were built. The Boeing Volunteer Retirees origanized 1995 have adopted the name of the first Model 1( a Bluebill) as their logo. We wanted to be the lead duck of volunteers in the Puget Sound area. The second airplane was called the Mallard
