Aerial Navigation. The (English) Aerial Navigation Act, 1911, 1913 and 1919, were repealed by the (English) Air Navigation Act of 1920 as amended, which together with the Air Navigation Orders thereunder contain the general law, and see also the (English) Air Navigation Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8, c. 44).
