Official Organ of the Royal Aero Club First Aeronautical Weekly in the World Founded in 1909 Salon International THE 25TH PARIS SALON, now called "Salon International de 1'Aeronau- tique et de FEspace," opens tomor row, June 7. So does France continue a tradition established on September 25, 1909, with the "ler Salon Inter national de la Locomotion Aerienne." In these modern times the show is presented not in the autumn but in summer; not in the time-honoured Grand Palais but at the airport of Le Bourget, where the open air adds both to the exhibition space and to the enjoyment of visitors. The Paris Show has always been important, and this year it is more important and bigger than ever before. Seventeen countries are re presented, and within the spacious halls and parks many of the world's most advanced aircraft, aero-engines and rockets are displayed, together with a great quantity of associated Salon International LE 25EME SALON DE PARIS, appele a present le "Salon International de l'Aeronautique et de l'Espace," sera inaugure demain, 7 juin. Ainsi, la France poursuit une tradition etablie le 25 septembre 1909, avec le "Ier Salon de la Locomotion Aerienr.e." En ces temps modernes, l'exposi- tion a lieu non pas en automne mais en ete, non pas au Grand Palais, comme traditionnellement, mais a FAeroport du Bourget, c'est-a-dire en plein air, ce qui, tout en etant plus agreable pour les visiteurs, offrira un espace plus grand pour l'exposition. Le Salon de Paris a toujours ete important et cette annee il est plus important et plus grand que jamais. Dix-sept pays sont represented et, dans les halls et les pares spacieux, on pourra voir les avions, propulseurs engins, et roquettes les plus per- fectionnes du monde ainsi qu'une grande variete d'equipements qui s'y rattachent. Le Spectacle est sensation nel, systems, equipment and materials. The scene is exciting, colourful, futuristic. There is nothing like a Paris Show, for even Britain's great spectacle at Farnborough (which will not take place this year) is solely a national occasion. As befits a journal bearing our title, and in tribute to France as host nation, we review at unprecedented length in this issue the offerings of the exhibitors—approaching 400 in number—both in the English and the French languages. Thus an occasion of immense international significance is marked by something out of the ordinary in aerospace journalism. It is our hope and belief that, for many thousands of readers, new and old, their enjoyment of the 25th Paris Salon, and their ability to profit from it. will be much enhanced by a study of this issue. interessant, futuriste. II n'y a rien de tel qu'une Exposition a Paris; en effet, la Grande Exposition Britan- nique de Farnborough (qui n'aura pas lieu cette annee) n'est qu'un evenement national. Comme il sied a une publication portant notre titre, et en hommage a la France, pays dont nous sommes les hotes, nous donnons dans ce numero une analyse d'une longueur sans precedent des articles presentes par les exposants (au nombre voisin de 400), analyse redigee en langue anglaise et en langue francaise. Ainsi un evenement d'une immense im portance internationale est souligne par une initiative hors de 1'ordinaire en matiere de journalisme "aero- spatial." Nous esperons et nous sommes convaincus que l'etude de ce numero permettra a de nombreux milliers de lecteurs, nouveaux et anciens, d'apprecier bien davantage le 25eme Salon de Paris et d'en tirer un enrichissement plus considerable.
