A-400M Atlas: in service with air forces around the world (Duke Hawkins)
A book on Europe's newest military transport aircraft, the Airbus A-400M Atlas. This impressive aircraft has been built to replace the C-130 Hercules and the C-160 Transall, even though it is significantly bigger than either of them.
This book includes every detail of the aircraft, from the fuselage, wings and tails to the landing gear, engines and propellers. As is tradition, a large section on the aircraft's cockpit is included, as is a chapter on the Atlas in maintenance and lots of action!

A-400M Atlas: in service with air forces around the world
Airbus is a leading manufacturer on the world market for large civil aircraft, with a product range extended to include military variants. Highly innovative concepts distinguish aircraft from Airbus, and most recently the development of the impressive giant A380 put these claims to the test. All aircraft and developments of the manufacturer are presented and described in this Fact File edition - complete with technical data, facts, performance tables and a good mix of contemporary and modern photographs. All important information about the aircraft of Airbus at a glance.
Celebrate the groundbreaking technical achievements and aviation visions that characterize Airbus. Embark on a journey through the crises and successes of this international company and its German locations.
Follow the beginnings, which in retrospect seem modest but nevertheless bold: for example with the A300, with models such as the A319, A320 or the A350. And even if the A380 is currently generating mixed headlines, it is still a fascinating technical adventure.
With over 150 largely unpublished photographs and profound texts, Ulf Kaack and Peter Kurze document Bremen's aviation history, starting with the aircraft manufacturers Focke-Wolf and Weserflug. They show innovative developments such as the first helicopter as well as civil and military aircraft for a wide variety of applications, describe how the merger of German and European aircraft manufacturers to form the Airbus Group came about and, last but not least, the development of Bremen Airport.
