Such innovations were incubated by and executed through a leadership and management system dubbed "Working Together.”
BOEING 777: PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER TO PRODUCE THE TRIPLE SEVEN is a behind-the-scenes history of the making of this airliner, produced in cooperation with engineers, pilots, and other experts on the team.

Today marks the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission, the first manned spaceflight to escape earth’s gravity and orbit the moon, and the mission that was called “the greatest voyage since Christopher Columbus”.
Launching on December 21, 1968 and splashing down on the 27th, the Apollo 8 team was comprised of three astronauts: Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders.
These men were the first to ever see and photograph the far side of the moon and an Earthrise, showing the Earth rising over the horizon like the Sun does.
APOLLO 8 IN PHOTOGRAPHS provides the full story of the mission, from the preparations to launch, the view from the moon, and what this mission’s success meant to the Space Race.
Now available at your favorite bookstore and our website (link in bio for more information).
