Title: Boeing 707. 1957 to present by Charles Kennedy. Haynes Owners Workshop Manual
Summary: Charles Kennedy traces the Boeing 707 from its origins in the 1950s through its continuing presence in aviation. The book explains how Boeing developed the aircraft from the 367-80 prototype (“Dash 80”), leading to the first production 707s and the beginning of the jet age.
The main themes are:
Development: Boeing's move from piston-powered airliners to jet technology and the engineering behind the 707. 
Introduction: The 707 entered airline service in 1958, dramatically reducing travel times and helping make long-distance jet travel commercially practical. 
Airline service: Kennedy describes the aircraft's use by major airlines around the world, including different passenger and cargo variants. 
Military versions: The book also covers derivatives such as the C-135 family, which became important for transport, reconnaissance, refuelling, and other military roles. 
Technical evolution: Different versions, modifications, engines, and operational changes are discussed. 
Legacy: Although passenger 707s were eventually replaced by newer and more efficient aircraft, many airframes continued flying in military, cargo, and specialist roles.
