The fascinating success story of the renaissance of European civil aviation after WWII, borne out of the enthusiasm of French and German engineers, that culminated in the construction of the ‘super jumbo’ A380.

EADS-AIRBUS is one of the world’s largest companies. In 2005, it had even beaten rival Boeing. But then, a financial and political scandal saw several members of EADS’ high command indicted for fraud. What happened?
Investigation into a complex story of personal ambitions, managerial incompetence, political pressure and insider dealing.
