   Name five jet airliners designed by Boeing before the model 707.

Well, they weren't airliners, but they did the B-47 and B-52
plus at least one prototype for a tanker - experience directly
related to airliners.

However, I think you focus too much on the -80/707 development
(ignoring that it was a make-or-break for Boeing) - the real
question is whether the Delta Clipper is the 707 of spacecraft
or the Comet :-(
