  1. There were plans for a passenger version of the Handley Page Victor. And the Lockheed Galaxy originally started out as a rival to the Jumbo Jet. And there a number of others. The Avro York was a civilian version of the famous Lancaster.

  2.  @sundhaug92 Sorry your right. For some reason I was thinking the two were rivals for passenger transport rather than military transport. I think it is probably because the 747 was such a success in the passenger role that in my own mind I was thinking that is what it was designed for. It's somewhat ironic that the 747 is now being contracted to transport military supplies.
