Imagine an alternate reality where the man who gave the world The Jungle Book and Gunga Din and The Phantom ‘Rickshaw was a science fiction writer – generations before Hugo Gernsbeck and Amazing; before the pulp SF that dominated the thirties; before intellectually prescient Astounding in the forties and sophisticated literary SF magazines like Galaxy and The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction fifties. Think of it: a world where Rudyard Kipling was a science fiction writer, long before SF as we understand it was invented. Well actually, he was. And the book you have in your hands – Actions And Reactions – is a wonderful example of it. It feels a lot like the sort of sophisticated SF – literary without being precious – we all remember from the Golden Age of Galaxy and The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction. Imagine that. We live in an alternate universe.

A. C. BELT & SON, READING

SAFETY WEAR FOR AERONAUTS

Fickers! Flickers! Flickers!

HIGH LEVEL FLICKERS

"He that is down need fear no fall,"

Fear not! You will fall lightly as down!

Hansen's air–kits are down in all respects. Tremendous reductions in prices previous to winter stocking. Pure para kit with cellulose seat and shoulder–pads, weighted to balance. Unequalled for all drop–work.

Our trebly resilient heavy kit is the ne plus ultra of comfort and safety.

Gas–buoyed, waterproof, hail–proof, nonconducting Flickers with pipe and nozzle fitting all types of generator. Graduated tap on left hip.

The new weighted Flicker with tweed or cheviot surface cannot be distinguished from the ordinary suit till inflated.

APPLIANCES FOR AIR PLANES

What "SKID" was to our forefathers on the ground, "PITCH" is to their sons in the air.

The popularity of the large, unwieldy, slow, expensive Dirigible over the light swift, Plane is mainly due to the former's immunity from pitch.

Collison's forward–socketed Air Van renders it impossible for any plane to pitch. The C.F.S. is automatic, simple as a shutter, certain\ as a power hammer, safe as oxygen. Fitted to any make of plane.
