BOEING VERSUS AIRBUS: The Inside Story of the Greatest International Competition in Business (Vintage)

Great book to read for those who are interested in the airline industry business, also for aviation lovers.

Author has provided very deep analysis of the two biggest giants of aviation. It provides insight of how Airbus rise and compete Boeing. Aircraft Industrial culture is depicted in very beautiful words.

Good Read, Book felt like an insider information

Not sure about the publisher Vintage Books but the The book feels like a pirated copy

Heck of a read! I enjoyed this book immensely. My only disappointment was that the last chapter ended on what seemed to me to be a weak note, as though the book had been structured as a series of stand-alone chapters, rather than a complete and developed thought. I especially appreciated the "insider" looks into both companies, which gave me insights on corporate politics that I'd definitely lacked before. Reading about the politics of the "subsidies" complaints was in particular meaty and juicy. I recommend this book whole-heartedly to anyone with either a stake or an interest in a large-scale air transport vehicle (hee hee). I found it very enjoyable and informative.

Muito interessante!!!°

Habe das Buch verschlungen, es ist sehr interessant geschrieben und gibt Einblicke in den Konkurrenzkampf der beiden Flugzeugbauer. Wer auch immer der bessere ist, Boeing oder Airbus, bleibt einem jeden selber überlassen, die Geschichte beider Flugzeugbauer ist jedoch außergewöhnlich und beide sind schon oft am Abgrund gestanden. Für Flugbranchenfanatiker sehr gut geeignet und man schaut immer wieder mal gerne rein.

I love boeing and Airbus!

This book tells you everything you could possibly want to know about the business strategies and competition facing the two major airplane manufacturers of the last 50 years. Even though it is full of detail it doesn't read like a textbook, but more like a novel. Well worth a read. It is only a shame that it isn't more recent (The book was published in 2007 so no discussion of teething problems with the Dreamliner A350 etc.)
