Generations of Greeks in Greece and abroad grew up with the legend of Olympic Airways of the five continents. However, most may be unaware of the details, fermentations, and backstage events that led to the creation of the airline with the Olympic rings, which survives to this day. This highly mysterious story involved 12 top politicians – who at some point served as Prime Ministers of Greece – renowned businessmen such as Onassis, Niarchos, and Goulandris, bankers like Pesmazoglou, Kostopoulos, Zolotas, and Iliaskos, decision-making centers in London and Washington, as well as foreign and local investors. With the narrative driven by a unique personality in the business chronicles of the country, the "father" of Greece's civil aviation and creator of TAE, Stefanos Zotos, Onassis and Squadron Leader X present the fascinating journey of Greece's air transport through the unpublished archives of Civil Aviation, overturning myths and assumptions that survived for decades until today: The restart of a country after the devastating Occupation, which left it without a single airplane; the birth of TAE, which would also be the first foreign investment welcomed by the country post-war; London's attempt to maintain the last remnants of guardianship in the country through aviation; the opening of the aviation market amidst civil war; the state intervention by the Center governments; the annihilation of TAE by the Rally government; the clash between Onassis and Niarchos for the acquisition of the company; and the birth of Olympic Airways.
