On June 15, 1916, William E. Boeing (1881-1956) pilots the B&W Bluebill, the first plane he helped to build, into the air above Lake Union. "B&W" reflected the initials of Boeing and his partner Navy Lt. Conrad Westervelt. Herb Munter (1895-1970) also helped to design and construct the two-seat, single-engine float plane in the Pacific Aero Club's hangar-boathouse at the foot of Roanoke Street in Seattle. The plane made its second, longer test flight two weeks later.

I was told that the tie was made to commemorate 100 years of that flight. Unique and rare item!
