Masterpieces of aviation history. Over 15,000 Airbus aircraft have been delivered to date - a true European success story. This visually striking volume is a completely 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 back the modest yet bold beginnings, starting with the Airbus A300, followed by models such as the A319, A320, and Airbus A350. Despite crises (and likely more to come in the future), it is a history of great visions, groundbreaking technological achievements, and the work of many skilled individuals who are passionate about aviation. The complete history, all aircraft types, and all historical milestones. A photographic book featuring images from the master of aviation photography: Dietmar Plath.
