Wong Tsu

The first engineer that Bill Boeing hired was China-born Wong Tsoo, who helped design the companyís first commercial success, the Model C bi-wing airplane.

The Model C two-place training seaplane was the first "all-Boeing" design and the company's first financial success. A total of 56 C-type trainers were built. Fifty-five used twin pontoons. The Model C-1F had a single main pontoon and small auxiliary floats under each wing and was powered by a Curtiss OX-5 engine.
