 John Fredrick Thomas Jane (1865-1916) was the founding editor of reference books on warships and aircraft (nowadays known as All the World"s Airships). John Jane was born in Richmond, Surrey, England and was an avid miniatures wargamer. He first published the Fighting Ships in 1898, which identified the warships operated by each country, their armaments, and other details, as a supplement to a game he designed. The book, now an annual series, is a standard reference work, and later founded what is now Jane"s Information Group. The present issue also includes the classical 20th Century passenger ships from White Star, Hamburg America Line, Cunard Line, etc.
