English | eBook | Size: 3.29 MB
Untold stories reveal the man and the strategies that changed aviation
Air Wars is a story about the intense and often bitter rivalry between Airbus and Boeing. It’s also about John Leahy, the legendary head of commercial sales at Airbus, whose team booked 15,000 net orders worth $2 trillion in 23 years, and the strategies by Airbus and Boeing that changed aviation as we know it.
Scott Hamilton is a journalist (but not the Olympic figure skater) who has covered the aerospace and commercial aviation industries since 1985, almost exactly matching Leahy’s tenure at Airbus. He has drawn upon both is extensive records of those years and recent interviews with many of the principal players to tell this detailed and riveting tale of these two giant companies.
