: Hello everyone.Looking at the old photo's of
: 747 aircraft,I noticed that the very old Pan
: Am 100's all have a buldge on top of the
: fuselage,right in the crease which divedes
: the upper deck from the main cabin.I noticed
: that about halfway into the seventies,the
: buldge was removed.Can anyone tell me what
: it's purpose was?Was it used just on the Pan

: Hi Mark & Frank Pan Am brought out a
: few postcards of the 747-100 one in
: particular was a pan am jumbo climbing or
: banking right which the picture was taken
: above the jet showing this bulge on the
: upper capsule of the early 747's one of the
: reasons for this is the airframe was to
: straight and long so Boeing recalled a
: number of 747-100's from Pan Am to slightly
: bend the airframe to give it charactor or
: more better looking. TWA also had this on
: there jets and recalled there 747-100s back
: in the late 1969 early seventies. If you can
: get hold of a postcard of this 747 you might
: notice it on the jet in the photo I do have
: one if you would like me to email it to you
: and to my good friend Mark. Thank you
