Separating the Real from the Imagined relates the history of flight
research practiced from 1915 to 1998 by the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and its successor the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). While it covers many
subjects, it is not a comprehensive, exhaustive, or encyclopedic
treatment. Rather, it represents a selective overview in which
projects illustrative of an era, of pivotal technologies, or of
advances in the art of flight research itself receive most of the
coverage. Its overall intents is to emphasize some of the major
themes, events, and accomplishments in this sometimes misunderstood
field of aeronautics, to provide historical perspective about the
development of the discipline, and to demonstrate the ways in which
it contributed not just to the design and improvement of aircraft,
but to that of spacecraft as well.
