Guess somebody hasn't heard of Airbus
This was written and published before Airbus' first plane was in the air, and decades before Embraer had a large passenger jet.
It also specifically states "jumbo jet." Does Embraer even have a jumbo today? The largest one listed on Wikipedia is 124 passengers, and that only came out in 2004.

So that was 1973, in between the first test flight and entry into service of the A300. I might argue that one reason Americans get a lot of stick from the rest of the world is exactly this kind of "America number one" stuff.
