A complete set of 50 cigarette cards, in their album An Album of AEROPLANES (CIVIL), published by John Player & Sons in 1935.

INTRODUCTION

" WE have so quickly become accustomed to the marvel of flying that we sometimes forget that man's conquest of the air — the dream of centuries — has been realised in our generation. Little more than thirty years have passed since men began learning to fly with power-driven heavier-than-air machines; to-day aeroplanes have been built which can travel at a speed of nearly 450 m.p.h., others can cover over 5,000 miles in a single flight, while as many as 100 passengers have been carried in one machine.

We have great air-liners flying daily across continents and seas carrying passengers and mail in a fraction of the time taken in travel by land and sea. Small cabin machines fly regularly between towns, and at airports air-taxis are always available for private charter. Fast mail planes have revolutionized our postal communications and commercial aeroplanes (freighters) are used for the rapid transport of goods. Aeroplanes are also used for surveying, exploration, police duties and traffic control, and there is a steadily growing volume of private flying and touring.

In the series of cards now being issued with Player's Cigarettes, will be found pictures of fifty machines, selected by the editor of The Aeroplane." The cards have adhesive backs for fixing in the spaces provided; descriptive notes appear on the backs and are reprinted in the following pages.

There are now so many types regularly flown that it is impossible to show more than a few of the best-known. Most of these are British but some outstanding examples from other countries are included. The fastest aeroplanes are often monoplanes and the best weight-carriers are often biplanes, but there is no hard and fast rule in this matter. Sesquiplanes (one-and-a-half planes) may be regarded either as biplanes with one plane much smaller than the other or as monoplanes with half a plane added. Sea-planes and flying-boats operate from water, and those described as amphibians can operate from both land and water.
