CAM-18: William Boeing moved from Detroit MI to Seattle WA in 1903 where he launched a successful lumber business. Soon after becoming friends with Navy Lieutenant, Conrad Westervelt they both took their first plane ride with a barnstorming pilot on July 4, 1914 becoming immediately hooked on flying and airplanes. Boeing enrolled in Glenn Martin's flying school and bought a Martin plane of his own to fly. He became convinced that he could build a better plane and with Westervelt built the Bluebill seaplane (known as the B&W) making it's first flight on June 15, 1916. One month later, on July 15th, Bill Boeing incorporated the Pacific Aero Products Company which became the Boeing Airplane Company a year later.
As the US entered WW-I it became clear that the Navy needed training airplanes. Boeing responded with the manufacture of its Model C training seaplane building 55 of them for the US military. Boeing and Eddie Hubbard flew this plane on March 3, 1919 making the first international mail delivery carrying 60 letters from Vancouver British Columbia Canada to Seattle WA. The Boeing Airplane Company received an order from the Army Air Service in 1921 to build 200 Thomas-Morse MB-3A pursuit fighter biplanes. Boeing demonstrated its efficient production methods that allowed it to profit while reducing its sale price to the military. Using the experience gained from the MB-3A, Boeing began to develop its own pursuit designs. Its Model 15 beat out Fokker and Curtiss fighters in Army evaluations in 1923 with the Army ordering 30 (PW-9s) and the Navy ordering 14 (FB-1/6s).
Pilots flying different legs of this July 1st CAM-18 inaugural air service included, EM Allison, Hugh Baker, IO Biffle, HA Collison, CE Johnson, JW Sharpnack and Frank R Yager.
