A. E. Jones - Commercial enterprise items and other activities.
A. E. Jones owned a model shop in London. As an important member of the Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers (S.M.A.E.) his influence extended in many directions and they are included here because it is difficult to establish another area of the website as being more suitable!
