{detailed description}This volume is a facsimile reprint of the 1919 edition of Jane's All The World's Aircraft. It is complete in all its original detail, including the advertisements.
This edition of Jane is radically different from that of 1913 Jane's All The World's Aircraft already reprinted in this series. By 1919 the aeroplane had behind it a substantial history of use in warfare, while its peacetime exploitation in commerce was being actively planned. The number of types of aircraft, of aero machines and other parts had multiplied rapidly, and the increase is reflected in the size of this volume which runs to over 800 pages including the advertisements which are almost as telling as the text itself. Meanwhile, though still under development, the airship was of declining importance and accounts for only the last section of thirty-six pages. It was, however, still possible to look forward to the increasing use of airships for luxury travel: various British 'R' airships are illustrated and described.
