                               PROXY STATEMENT

To Our Shareholders: 

This is an amendment to the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders dated
March 10, 1995 and the proxy statement for The Boeing Company (the "Company")
with respect to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 24,
1995 (the "Annual Meeting").

The Board of Directors of the Company is pleased to nominate an additional
candidate for election as a director at the Annual Meeting. As a result of this
nomination, the election conducted at the Annual Meeting will be for six
directors. The following information amends the proxy statement with respect to
the election.

                                        
                                        [facsimile signature]

                                        Corporate Counsel 

                                        Seattle, Washington
                                        March 15, 1995


                         AMENDMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

                            ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has increased the size of the board from thirteen to
fourteen, effective at the time of the Annual Meeting. In addition to the
nominees described in the original proxy statement, the board nominates 
the following candidate, who is not currently a board member, for a three-year
term.

FRANKLIN D. RAINES

Vice Chairman of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie
Mae). Age 46. Since 1991, Mr. Raines has been Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae (a
company that provides a secondary market for residential mortgages through
portfolio purchases, issuance of mortgage-backed securities, and other
services). He was a General Partner in municipal finance at the investment
banking firm of Lazard FrAres & Co. from 1985 to 1990. Mr. Raines served on the
White House staff and with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget from 1977
to 1979. He is also a director of Fannie Mae, MITRE Corporation, and Pfizer,
Inc. Mr. Raines owns 1,000 shares of Boeing stock.

If all of the nominees are elected, the board will consist of twelve
independent directors and two members of management. The Company's By-Laws
provide that the directors are to be divided into three classes, each to be
composed as nearly as possible of one-third of the directors. In order to
keep the classes nearly equal, the board has nominated Frank Shrontz for a
two-year term expiring at the time of the annual meeting in 1997. The other
five nominees are candidates for three-year terms expiring at the time of the
annual meeting in 1998.

                       SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

The table on page 18 of the proxy statement is amended to read as follows:
