“It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell.” reads the ad, which ran in the National Journal and in the Armed Forces Journal.
Boeing and Bell officials agreed that the ad — touting the capabilities of the vertical-lift Osprey aircraft — was ill-conceived and should never have been published.

The ad also stated:
“Before you hear it, you see it. By the time you see it, it’s too late.
The CV-22 delivers Special Forces to insertion points never thought possible.
It flies faster. It flies farther. It flies quieter. Consider it a gift from above.
Capabilities extended. Options multiplied. Missions accomplished.”
In the 1960s, Boeing’s aerospace division became a large part of its business, employing some 55,000 people by 1962. Boeing had space facilities at two NASA centers and at Cape Canaveral in Florida, site of many space launches. The division built the first stage of the Saturn launch vehicles that sent the Apollo spacecraft toward the Moon. It also built the lunar orbiter, which photographed the Moon’s surface in 1966 to help NASA find a safe place for Apollo astronauts to land.
