From 911Encyclopedia:
Already established in 1898, the first edition of Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships (later shortened to Jane's Fighting Ships) was released and almost immediately became an authoritative guide to ship recognition and naval intelligence. In 2002 Jane's Defence Weekly, Jane's Fighting Ships and Jane's All the World's Aircraft, included weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual information products on military business worldwide. On September 11th, 2002, Alfred Rolington, Managing Director asked: "Regardless of whoever was behind the 9/11 attacks, there were certain aspects of that day and the preceding ones that were known. The hijackers were, in part, known to be on some wanted lists. It had been known for some time that Al-Qaeda was training pilots. Why, therefore, was there nothing clearly done to disrupt this attack?" http://www.janes.com/company/about/ceo_messages.shtml Jane's reported heavily between June and August 2001 on Bin Laden, known to be "training individuals as commercial pilots".
