Publisher Description
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] During the period just before and after its creation, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (N.A.C.A.) found itself both the victim and the beneficiary of Washington, D.C. politics. Despite its later success and acceptance, at its start the N.A.C.A. seemed anything but preordained. In fact, it happened more or less accidentally, and prospered at times because of its military patrons, and at other times in spite of them.
