JANUARY 28, 1926 WORLD'S RECORDS IN AVIATION IN FLIGHT for January 29, 1925, we published a complete list of the World's aviation records as standing on December 31, 1924. Since then several of these records have been beaten and in many cases have, as far as the nationality of the holders is concerned, changed hands. It will hardly be necessary for us to repeat here those records that stand the same now as for 1924, but we publish below a list of the new records, as standing on December 31, 1925.
