FOREWORD
This bibliography is one of a series which aims to
cover a large part of aeronautical literature. It is pub
lished by the Ua S. Works Progress Administration Project
465-97-3-21 (formerly 165-97-6055) under the sponsorship of
the New York City Department of Docks with the cooperation
of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences.
Request for Additions
The Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences which is
directing the Ua Sa Works Progress Administration staff of
workers will appreciate receiving additional references,
corrections and criticism, so that the bibliographies will
be more helpful when issued in final form.
Request for Copies
The bibliographies have been prepared with funds
allotted by the Uo So Works Progress Administration. They
may not be soldo
Persons and organizations wishing to procure copies
may apply for them by letter, stating the use for which
they are neededo When it is possible to prepare additional
copies such requests will receive first consideration.
