I eventually found that the series consisted of 12 issues starting in 1919 and ending in 1954. Each issue had a section in the back called 'Some Notable Flights'. The entries in these sections were dated thus enabling the series to be established. This was essential as Ward Locke used sometimes used dates and sometimes edition numbers to identify an issue. I am confident that I now have all 12 issues plus all 7 issues of the Wonder Book Of Motors. I'm trying to collect all the issues of the Wonder Book Of Ships but this may be impossible. I think I'm missing issues 2 & 3 and 18 of this series so wish me luck! Regards: John Murphy (Chicago) Hi There: I was about 13 when I first started to collect the Wonder Book Of Aircraft.
