Il nome dell'autore, Bill Gunston, un anziano giornalista britannico e già "Technical Editor" dell'autorevole settimanale "Flight International" (nei favolosi anni Sessanta), è di per sè una garanzia .....Product Description:
First published in 1988, Bill Gunston's book simply told the story of how the original Airbus A300B was conceived, how the international Airbus company was formed and how it finally grew to become an aerospace giant. This fully revised and updated second edition includes all the prolific single-aisle aircraft that have followed the A320, the great new wide-bodies (the A330 and four-engine A340), the enormous A380, the totally different A400M military air lifter and, not least, the extraordinary gestation of the A350. Top aviation author Bill Gunston's 'inside story' is a tale without parallel of Europe's 'Boeing-beater'.
