It combines expert technical detail, management insights, and vivid diagrams, making it an essential read for aviation enthusiasts and professionals alike. ## Description Used Book in Good Condition Review: The definitive story thus far - Bill Gunston needs no introduction to readers of aviation books...not with some 300 titles to his credit. This one first appeared in 1988 and is here substantially updated and now illustrated in color throughout. There are also some wonderful two-page cutaway diagrams of all the key aircraft. Gunston's book is the best single source of Airbus history, taking the story right down to the huge A380 and the forthcoming A350 airliners as well as the troubled military transport project. But the author also discusses issues of management (always complex in this case), sharing of manufacture among the European nations involved (chiefly Germany and France, but including the UK and Spain), the logistics of a widespread manufacturing program, and labor issues. Given how Airbus has grown in the past quarter-century, the new edition is an important addition to the literature, one well worth buying even if you own the 1988 book. Review: My son loves this book - My son is 8 years old and loves airplanes. He has read this entire book and looks at it almost every day. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,223,782 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #800 in Commercial Aviation (Books) #1,745 in Aviation History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | ## Images ![Airbus: The Complete Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pYE45rWfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The definitive story thus far *by C***G on April 10, 2010* Bill Gunston needs no introduction to readers of aviation books...not with some 300 titles to his credit.

He has read this entire book and looks at it almost every day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent - clear insight into a European success *by J***M on January 30, 2011* Gunston writes with clarity and passion about all things within Aviation - here his respect and affection for the plucky little European conglomerate that could is obvious. He waxes lyrical about the Airbus products - but he states his rational clearly and succintly. The industrial History side of the book is very interesting as we see the birth of a complex organisation and many revolutionary ways of doing business - it is a interesting juxtaposition to the competion first appraoch across the ditch from Europe. It is a large format book but does not make great use of the format in terms of how the pictures are presented - but it is a great read --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/71721696-airbus-the-complete-story](https://www.desertcart.in/products/71721696-airbus-the-complete-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
