| | Boeing 367-80 |
 | | By the time Boeing progressed to the 80th iteration, the design bore no resemblance to the C-97 but, for security reasons, Boeing decided to let the jet project be known as the 367-80. |
 | | Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the 367-80, better known as the Dash 80, would come to revolutionize commercial air transportation when its developed version entered service as the famous Boeing 707, America's first jet airliner. |
 | | As Boeing had done with the B-17, it risked the company on one roll of the dice and won. |
