John William Ransom Taylor, OBE Hon DEng FRAeS FRHistS AFIAA, (8 June 1922 - 12 December 1999) was a British aviation expert and editor of a number of aviation publications. He edited Jane's All the World's Aircraft (JAWA) for three decades during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies and the USA/European alliance (NATO). He retired as Jane's editor in 1989. Taylor made predictions of the performance of Soviet military equipment. A quote from the UK Guardian newspaper said: "In 1961, when Western intelligence was fascinated by early glimpses of a new Soviet bomber, the Tupolev Tu-22, many analysts estimated it could reach a speed of Mach 2.5. But Taylor, after noting the shape of the aircraft's engine intakes, put the maximum at no more than Mach 1.4, which proved much closer to the truth. In 1983, he analyzed the MiG-29 fighter, whose agility was the cause of much anxiety amongst NATO's war-gamers; seven years later they were found to be accurate to within an inch. " He joined Jane's as editorial assistant on Jane's All the World's Aircraft (JAWA) in 1955 and four years later he took over as editor. Traces the development and uses of rockets and missiles, with emphasis on the rapid progress in rocketry in the preceding thirty years. Gordon C. Davies was a prolific book cover artist from the 1950s to the 1980s, most notably on a great many science fiction books as he was a very good artist of technology, from trains and planes to spaceships, and military subjects which included hardware. Davies worked for various publishers, including Scion, Authentic Science Fiction, Futuristic Science Stories, Panther Books and Brown Watson. Davies worked elsewhere, including features for Daily Mail Boys Annual, Swift Annual, Eagle Annual and centre-spreads for the Eagle weekly. He continued to produce covers for Pan Books and New English Library, notably for titles by Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein. Davies—full name Gordon Charles Henry Davies—was born in West Derby, Lancashire, on 6 May 1923. Davies died in 1994.…
