Abstract
We give a complete and short proof of KAHN's Theorem that every locally projective space (M,M) with dim M≥3 satisfying the Bundle Theorem is embeddable in a projective space. The central tool of KAHN's proof is the fact that (M,M) is locally projective, while we use mainly the Bundle Theorem.
