Olympic Airways: A History

The Olympic Airways story has fascinated Graham M. Simons for many years. This book represents the culmination of decades spent researching the history of this fascinating Greek airline.

It is a story of evolution, conflict, personality, and politics, all set against a backdrop of world and civil wars, coups and counter-coups.

During the course of his research, it became apparent to the author that many of the fine details pertaining to the company weren't widely known, although almost everyone had heard of the towering, controversial, leading figurehead who oversaw much of the central part of the story: Aristotle Socrates Onassis.

His colourful life is threaded through this history, lending it drama and multiple levels of intrigue.
