This first volume, plus the succeeding five now in preparation,
covers the impact of aerodynamic development on the evolution of
the airplane in America. As the six-volume series will ultimately
demonstrate, just as the airplane is a defining technology of the
twentieth century, aerodynamics has been the defining element of
the airplane. Volumes two through six will proceed in roughly
chronological order, covering such developments as the biplane, the
advent of commercial airliners, flying boats, rotary aircraft,
supersonic flight, and hypersonic flight. This series is designed
as an aeronautics companion to the Exploring the Unknown: Selected
Documents in the History of the U.S. Civil Space Program (NASA
SP-4407) series of books. As with Exploring the Unknown, the
documents collected during this research project were assembled
from a diverse number of public and private sources. A major
repository of primary source materials relative to the history of
the civil space program is the NASA Historical Reference Collection
in the NASA Headquarters History Office. Historical materials
housed at NASA field centers, academic institutions, and
Presidential libraries were other sources of documents considered
for inclusion, as were papers in the archives of private
individuals and corporations. SP-2003-4409
