ALL THE WORLD'S AIRCRAFT* " ALL THE WORLD'S AIRCRAFT " for 1925 has just made its appearance, and once again several improvements on previous issues are to be found. The new shape adopted last year is, we are glad to see, retained, for in its original form—when it' was known as " Jane's All the World's Aircraft "—this extremely useful reference book was undoubtedly somewhat awkward to handle. In the 1925 edition—the 15th—some really important additions have been introduced. For instance, a complete list of the air lines of the world, together with brief particulars of each service, is given. Following this list is another giving " Noteworthy Flights of the Year," and the principal world's records. Another very important new feature consists of an index of aeroplanes, engines, and airships, in which individual types are given under their own names—as distinct from the makers' names—and their type letters and numbers. This should greatly facilitate looking up any particular aircraft or engine, especially when only the type name is known and not the maker's, or vice versa—and this frequently occurs. r * " All the World's Aircraft." Compiled and edited by C. G. Grey. Founded 1911 by Fred T. Jane. Sampson Low, London. £2 2s. net. In other respects the contents follow on the lines of last year's issue. It is divided into four main sections : Part A.— The World's Aeronautical Progress, consisting of historical notes on the year's work of each nation (alphabetically arranged) in military, naval and civil aviation. Part B.— All the World's Aeroplanes, including sections on helicopters and gliders. Part C.—All the World's Aero Engines. PartD. —All the World's Airships. As before, Capt. W. H. Sayers has contributed largely to the technical side. Many new types are to be found in this volume, and it is interesting to note that the British and German sections have grown considerably since last year. We also note from a perusal of the section devoted to the United States—especially the historical section—that a considerable amount of new and interesting matter is to be found dealing with the increased activity in aerial matters taking place of late in the Land of the Free—and Dry. Nearly fifty countries are represented, and the data referring to same is, considering the extremely difficult task presented to the compilers of such a book, remarkably complete and up-to-date. Space will not permit a detailed review of this book, and we can only conclude by saying " Get it, and see for yourself." 573
