In 1955 , Boeing invited airlines to witness what they described as history in the making a new type of passenger plane.

It's like never seen before, but instead of a simple tour and fly by, the test pilot did a series of impromptu manoeuvres that left everybody watching on the ground.

This barrel roll would cement the story of the first Boeing jetliner for generations and herald in a new era for aviation transport.

Boeing would bet the entire company on building a fully functioning prototype without any orders.

The first prototype of the Boeing 707 , the Dash 80, was built by hand and could be custom built for any specifications.

The aircraft was a huge success for the company, with 110 aircraft being built over the course of the aircraft's run.

Boeing went on to produce the first production model, the 707 -120, with it being certified and entering into service with Pan American in 1958 .
