Description

JANE'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AVIATION

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AT $95.00 ! 

FIVE VOLUMES IN ONE. This new edition is the first time (1989) the fives volumes have been published as one. The publication have also taken the opportunity to up-date the encyclopedia with a 40 page appendix written by Michael j. H. Taylor that covers many of the important advances of the last decade. 

 

With more than 2,000 illustrations in black and white and full colour.

This definitive reference source brings together in one volume five encyclopedic guides to the history of aviation from the days of hot air balloons to today's supersonic transports. Both aviation professionals and enthusiasts will find Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation to be a fascinating chronicle of the tremendous advances in flight technology. 

 

Fred T. Jane felt compelled to include an apologetic footnote inside his first guide to the world's aircraft. He attributed the work's large number of unillustrated pages both to his inexperience at this type of information gathering, as well as to the general reluctance of industry professionals to provide him with it. But that was in 1909. By the advent of World War I, the quantity and quality of statistics contained in the annual editions of All the World's Aircraft had improved so greatly that the volume was deemed a security risk. The book, already completed and too costly to reprint, was sent back to the printer with Jane's instruction to obliterate entries relevant to the war effort with indelible black ink! When Jane died two years later, his successor promised to make the annual volumes a perpetual monument to his memory. Today, the Jane's name signifies the best among aviation reference sources. 

 

It was at the suggestion of Michael J. H. Taylor, a member of the current editorial staff of All the World's Aircraft, that an encyclopedic volume be compiled that would encompass the vast amount of material housed in the Jane's archives. When Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation appeared in five separate volumes it was hailed as the most comprehensive book of aviation history ever published. Here now in one complete volume is that authoritative text and a detailed supplement describing hundreds of aircraft that have made their mark in flight history since its  original publication. From the first Wright Flyer to the latest Northrop  B-2A stealth bomber, Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation captures the romance, thrills, and science of flight.  

 

MICHAEL J. H. TAYLOR

Assistant Editor to Jane's All the World's Aircraft, and during his twenty years of aviation writing has published 97 books.
