Masterpieces of the history of aviation. Over 15,000 Airbus aircraft have been delivered to date - a true European success story. This visually striking volume is a fully updated and enlarged new edition of the standard work "50 Years of Airbus" by Achim Figgen and Dietmar Plath, detailing the history of Airbus and the aircraft of this internationally positioned company and its German locations. Trace the modest yet bold beginnings in retrospect: starting with the Airbus A300, and including models like the A319, A320, and Airbus A350. Even though there have been crises (and there will likely be more in the future), it is a history of great visions, groundbreaking technical achievements, and the work of many skilled individuals who are passionate about aviation. The complete history, all aircraft types, all historical milestones. A photographic book featuring images from the master of aviation photography: Dietmar Plath.
