I s. d. 14,966 1 1 WORLD'S AERONAUTICAL RECORDS The Federation Aeronautique Internationale is the sole authority for granting World's Records of flying performances, and the Royal Aero Club is the Official representative of the Federation for the British Empire. The Federation, being International, it has not been possible for any World's Records to be ratified during the War, and Consequently, any statements which have been published as to World's Records having been made during the War are not official, and are likely to mislead the public. With the resumption of civilian flying, the Royal Aero Club will be in a position to supervise attempts on records under the Federation Aeronautique Internationale and the Competition Rules of the Royal Aero Club. Any person wishing to claim a World's Record for a flying performance carried out since 1914, is particularly urged to forward particulars to the Royal Aero Club for verification, and subsequent ratification by the Federation Aeronautiqut Internationale. 566
