Why you should read Boeing Versus Airbus

John Newhouse, an experienced journalist and former New Yorker writer, has already written one book on the airplane industry (The Sporty Game). His fans will welcome the return of his expert insights, and may see this as a bonus supplement or extension. He has collected some fascinating new material for this work, so it is deeply informative, though perhaps not as dramatic as its title portends, since the titular competitors take turns winning. Newhouse clearly conducted extensive fresh research, and he presents interesting interview material throughout, although he gets a little awkward when he uses numerical data. getAbstract recommends this look behind the hangar doors of the airplane industry to business historians and, especially, to aviation buffs.
