Boeing's first Model 747 rolled out of the Everett assembly plant in September 1968. Some 50,000 Boeing employees in four different plants worked on the 747 project, building the world's largest civilian plane in only 16 months. Deliveries to the airlines began in 1969.

This photo, probably taken sometime around 1969, shows four Boeing 747s being assembled at the Everett plant.
