Fantastic read on the duel between Airbus, Boeing and everything in between. The book covers the career of John Leahy. A New Yorker who became the top salesman at Airbus and led its sales growth as EADS itself was being transformed from an amalgamation of various European entities to a global aircraft manufacturer name Airbus. 

 

It covers the 90s through the Covid period; most of which I am very familiar with, but the real nugget is all the interviews that the author did with other market participant and ex-executives who were sought for comments. I think this was a great read and worthy successor to John Newhouse' work from 10+ years ago.
