On October 26, 1958, the Boeing 707 Jet Clipper America took off from Idlewild Airport in New York for Paris, making history as the first jet plane to transport transatlantic passengers. This groundbreaking flight sparked a cultural revolution throughout the 1960s and 1970s, as flying became a symbol of economic prosperity and freedom, with airlines and their aircraft becoming cultural icons.
