Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 452 pages. Illustrations. Tables. Glossary. Index. DJ has some wear, soiling and sticker residue on front flap. Possibly the most interesting aspect of this, the eighth issue of Jane's, are the articles by combatants in the Russo-Japanese War, supplemented by a special series of photographs showing the ships destroyed and the extent of the damage suffered by others. There is a summary of naval actions during the war and notes on relevant strategy and tactics. All included are revised rules of Jane's "Naval War Games". This is a large and heavy book and would require additional shipping charges if sent outside of the United States. This is an annual reference book of information on all the world's warships arranged by nation, including information on ships' names, dimensions, armaments, silhouettes and photographs, etc. Each edition describes and illustrates warships of different national naval and paramilitary forces, providing data on their characteristics. The first issue was illustrated with Jane's own ink sketches--photos began to appear with the third volume in 1900. The present title was adopted in 1905. Its success launched a number of publications carrying the name "Jane's". Ten early editions of Jane's (those of 1898, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939, 1944-45, and 1950-51) were reissued in facsimile reprints by Arco Publishing starting in 1969. All of these appeared in the oblong or "landscape" format until the 1956/57 edition, while from 1957/58 the present "portrait" layout was adopted, thus matching the sister Jane's publication on aircraft. John Fredrick Thomas Jane (6 August 1865 - 8 March 1916) was the founding editor of reference books on warships (All the World's Fighting Ships) and aircraft (All the World's Airships) and the namesake of what would become Jane's Information Group and many of its publications. Jane was born in Richmond, Surrey, England, but worked most of his life in Portsmouth. His father was a Church of England vicar and he attended Exeter School.[1] He first began to sketch warships in his teens. An avid miniatures wargamer, Jane first published All the World's Fighting Ships (known as Jane's Fighting Ships after 1905) in 1898, which catalogued all the warships operated by each country, their armaments, and other details, as a supplement to a wargame he designed. It was a success from the start and has become the standard reference directory on the topic. The Naval Warrant Officer's Journal suggested that the book be on every ship, and in 1902 said that it should be available to every naval officer. The Admiralty were less enthusiastic, partly due to Jane's irreverent behavior - although some ships did acquire copies. In 1909, he created All the World's Aircraft. Jane's firm is now Jane's Information Group. Jane was an accomplished maritime and naval artist whose works were widely published in periodicals and his own books, those illustrations are now collectable. Reprint Edition.
