Well, first of all, he doesn't know about European aerospace company Airbus, which produces airliners (and is in fact comparable to Boeing in its output). He dwells on 1950s and 1960s events, and doesn't even mention later events, even when they would seriously support his case (and there are a lot of them). He refers to the Lockheed Tri-Star and the 747 as the "Boeing Jumbo Jet," which I haven't heard since before KAL 007. Japan=radios? c. 1970! I agree with the article, but it's got "1970s" written all over it. Might it not be a trenchant reprint? Given that Gordon Sinclair has been dead since 1984, I'd bet that would be the case: http://www.gnt.net/~wright/american_ed.html best LFB
