"Birds Of Prey" is the story of an aviation industry now essential to heavily developed nations. It is also a paradigm of business, the ongoing story of the struggle between two forces of international commerce. It describes the inner workings of these corporations that are almost nations unto themselves: how a product is conceived of (the Airbus or the 747) and then the need for that product is created. And finally, "Birds Of Prey" tells how, by manipulation both overt and covert, the battling giants marshal their various resources to achieve their ends: more orders for their factories. And on this level, the salespeople have familiar names -- for Airbus, the star salesman was the late French President Francois Mitterrand; for Boing, it is President Bill Clinton. Truly engaging, dramatic reading, "Birds Of Prey" is a fascinating, unique insight into the contemporary aviation industry.Lynn, Matthew is the author of 'Birds of Prey Boeing Vs.
