Abstract
N. Krier and J. C. D. S. Yaqub have proved that if a projective plane π admits an involutory homology and an involutory elation, then π does not belong to the Lenz-Barlotti class I1, and belongs to the class I2. In this paper, we find the classification of projective planes having a homology of orderp and an elation of orderq, wherep andq are primes.
