IHS Jane’s is proud to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the first published edition of Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft (JAWA).

Fred T. Jane published All the World’s Air-Ships in November 1909, just a month after Britain’s first air show, and less than six years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight.

A chronicle of a century of ever-accelerating aviation progress, Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft has recorded the particulars of flying machines—using the widest possible interpretation of that phrase—in the most minute detail.

Special Centennial Foreword

Paul Jackson, FRAeS, the current editor of JAWA, has written a special Centennial Foreword on the history of the last 100 years of aviation for the Anniversary edition. This Foreword views those years through the eyes and words of the mere six editors who have held that distinguished responsibility since 1909.

In addition, HRH The Duke of York, KG, Commodore-in-Chief, Fleet Air Arm, has written a Special Introduction.

With these exclusive insights into the last 100 years of aviation history, as well as entries on 1,025 aircraft and 615 companies, Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft 2009-2010 is a must-have edition.
