Since its inception in 1908, Jane's All the World's Aircraft has had just six editors, and current editor Paul Jackson has served in that role for 15 years.

Editor-in-Chief - Paul Jackson FRAeS
The chance gift of an aircraft book at the age of six was the genesis of a passion for all matters aeronautical that has absorbed Paul Jackson for almost half a century. Editor of an aviation society newsletter in his native Yorkshire shortly after leaving school, he contributed to amateur and professional aviation journals for another decade before becoming a freelance aerospace writer and editor. In 1987, he was invited to join the compiling team of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, being appointed its editor in 1995. In 2004, he was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Deputy Editor - Kenneth Munson
After education at Eltham College, London, Kenneth Munson worked in the Air Ministry from 1945 to 1959, then turning to aviation journalism as a career. Author of nearly 40 books on current and historical aviation, he joined the compiling team of Jane's All the World's Aircraft in 1968, becoming its Assistant Editor in 1973 and Deputy Editor in 1990. His responsibility for the book's section on unmanned aerial vehicles turned into editorship of a specialized sister publication in 1995. Kenneth remains a contributing editor to this title.

Lindsay Peacock, Assistant Editor
Lindsay Peacock was born in Hammersmith, London and educated in Harrow. On leaving school in 1964, he worked for British European Airways, remaining with them and their successor, British Airways, until 1976 when he left to become a freelance aviation writer and photographer. He subsequently specialized in military aviation and has written many books and articles on the subject. Since 1994, he has contributed to Jane’s, as joint editor of World Air Forces, also compiling many of the military entries for All the World’s Aircraft and taking responsibility for checking all the calculations in the latter.

Susan Bushell, Compiler
Born into an RAF family with an aviation enthusiast father, Susan Bushell has been surrounded by aircraft since childhood and rapidly — and unavoidably — developed a strong interest in the subject. Her first article on aviation was published in a national magazine when she was 14. Soon after leaving school, Susan began working for a succession of aviation magazines and book publishers, augmenting her knowledge of aircraft with experience of layout and printing. She also took the time to gain a private pilot’s license. Having edited the monthly Aviation World, Susan joined Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft in 1996, specializing in the rapidly expanding field of light aviation and compiling statistics on the aircraft industry.
