‎Washington DC: United States Department of the Navy Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Training Division 1945. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good. 143 1 pages. Illustrations some with color. Tables. Graphs. Charts. Glossary. Approximately 8.25 inches by 10.75 inches format. Cover has wear and soiling. About a two inch tear to cover cloth at bottom back of the spine. Name in ink inside front cover. Stamped number at bottom of fep. From the Foreword: Modern military missions with their demand for precision flying at all times and under all conditions cannot wait for daylight - or CAVU ceiling and visibility unlimited. The pilot who cannot fly through instruments therefore consigns himself and his plane to a part-time job and places both in the premodern era where usefulness was limited by the amount of daylight and visibility. A pilot's usefulness in this age is almost proportional to his ability to fly through instruments. With the advent of the first flight-indicating instrument flying cased to be strictly by contact. With the addition of each new flight-indicating instrument flying by visual reference to the ground or the horizon became less important and less used until today it's instrument flying or else! And that is what it will be tomorrow. With the array of accurate and reliable instruments that are now standard equipment in all modern planes flight is effective precise and successful under all conditions. These servants of flight attitude and performance are yours to command and to use if you will but you must understand what they tell you and learn how to use them. This manual reflects the state-of-knowledge the state-of-practice and the state-of-the-art during the final phases of the Second World War. It addresses bombing missions evasive action and carrier take-offs and other operations.

‎Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 2005. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Very good. No dust jacket. v 114 p. From Wikipedia: "Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is a public airport located 3 statute miles 4.8 km south of downtown Washington D.C. in Arlington County Virginia. 1 It is the commercial airport nearest to Washington D.C. For many decades the airport was called Washington National but the airport was renamed Reagan National in 1998 to honor former U.S. President Ronald W. Reagan. Other than 40 slot exemptions flights into and out of DCA are not allowed to exceed 1 250 statute miles in any direction nonstop in an effort to send the major air traffic volume to the larger but more distant Dulles International Airport. In 2010 the airport served about 18.1 million passengers. 2 Reagan National only provides US immigration and customs facilities for corporate jet traffic; the only international flights allowed to land at DCA are those from airports with U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance facilities. For all other international passenger flights those in the Washington Metropolitan Area can use Dulles International Airport west of the city and Baltimore-Washington International Airport northeast of the city.

‎Proposals to Increase the Amount of Controlled Air Space: Hearings before the Subcommittee on Aviation of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives Ninety-sixth Congress first session March 20 and 21 1979‎

‎Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1979. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket as issued. v 500 p. 23 cm. Illustrations. 96-6. The purpose of the hearings was to review the proposal of the Federal Aviation Administration to significantly increase the amount of air space subject to mandatory traffic control. Under the FAA proposals the high altitude positive control areas would be lowered from 18 000 feet to 10 000 feet. In the areas around busy airports an additional 44 mandatory terminal control areas would be established. Since the FAA published its proposals the Congress had been flooded with mail mostly in opposition to the proposals. The hearings thus provided the FAA with an opportunity to clarify its proposal and the rationale behind it and also to give supporters and opponents a chance to express their positions and to suggest alternatives.

‎College Park Aviation Museum‎

‎College Park Aviation Museum; July-September 2016 Calendar‎

‎College Park Maryland: College Part Aviation Museum 2016. Presumed first edition/first printing thus. Brochure. Very good. Sheet of 12 inches by 18 inches printed on both sides folded so that there are 6 panels each side. Illustrations some in color. Discussed museum exhibits special events and provides other information of interest. In 1909 after proving the practicality of aviation to the US Army Wilbur Wright trained the first generation of military aviators at a new airfield in what would come to be known as College Park. The College Park Airport has been home to a century of aviation history and still operates today making it the oldest continually operated airport in the world. It is home to many "firsts" in aviation and is particularly significant for the well-known aviators and aviation inventors who played a part in this field's long history. In 1905 two years after their famous first flight of a heavier-than-air powered aircraft at Kitty Hawk NC Wilbur and Orville Wright approached the U.S. Government about acquiring their aeroplane but could not generate any interest. In 1907 upon hearing that the Wright brothers were in Europe discussing the potential sale of their aircraft to those governments the Wrights received a letter requesting them to meet with U.S. Army officials. Shortly before Thanksgiving Wilbur Wright met with the Signal Corps to discuss the possibility of furnishing an aeroplane to the Army. Their discussions resulted in Signal Corps Specification No. 486 - Advertisement and Specification for a heavier-than-air flying machine. Among other requirements this machine was to be capable of carrying two people have a speed of at least 40 mph remain in the air for at least one hour sustain flight for 125 miles and be sufficiently easy to fly that a man of average intelligence could become proficient in its use within a reasonable amount of time. The Wrights submitted a bid along with 40 other inventors. Despite the fact that the Wrights' was the highest of the three acceptable bids the Signal Corps had been so impressed with the confidence expressed by Wilbur during their meetings that they decided to allow the Wrights' offer to stand. The Wrights' contract required that prior to its acceptance trials be held at Ft. Myer in Arlington Virginia to demonstrate that the aeroplane could accomplish all the requirements of the Signal Corps specifications. The tests began in September 1908 with Orville handling the demonstrations while Wilbur was abroad overseeing the manufacture and license of the Wright machine in France. On September 17 1908 while Orville was making a test flight with passenger Lt. Thomas Selfridge at Ft. Myer the aeroplane's right propeller fractured striking one of the rudder's bracing wires and sending the aeroplane crashing to the ground. Lt. Selfridge died of a fractured skull. Orville was seriously hurt but recovered from his injuries. The War Department granted them an extension of their contract until the summer of 1909. On July 27 1909 official testing began again at Ft. Myer. In the last test - the speed test - Orville flew 42.583 mph and was awarded a bonus of $5000 for exceeding the contract specifications by 2.5 mph. On August 2 1909 Signal Corps Number One was officially accepted by the U.S. Government. There remained however one final condition to the Wrights' contract: that they teach two U.S. Army officers to fly the newly accepted machine. The Ft. Myer parade ground was deemed too small to safely instruct the Army officers so the search began for another location. During a routine balloon ascent Lt. Frank Lahm had spotted a large level field in the town of College Park that was close to the Maryland Agricultural College now the University of Maryland and adjacent to the B&O railroad tracks. The field was far enough away from the city that there were hopes it would discourage the large crowds of up to 7000! that had come daily to witness the Ft. Myer trials. However the lure of the aeroplanes continued to draw spectators out to College Park although in fewer numbers. A small temporary hangar was erected at the newly leased College Park field and the field cleared of brush and other obstacles. On October 8 1909 Wilbur Wright began the flight instruction of Lt. Frank Lahm and Lt. Frederic Humphreys. On October 20 Lt. Benjamin Foulois who had been originally designated one of the student pilots and was replaced by Humphreys to fulfill the contract returned from a conference in Europe and began flight instruction under Wilbur Wright and Lt. Humphreys. In November 1909 the Wright contract was fulfilled when both Humphreys and Lahm soloed after little more than three hours of instruction. Once the U.S. Government had purchased the Wright aeroplane and the three Army officers Lahm Humphreys and Foulois had received flight instruction in 1909 the U.S. Congress provided no funds to continue developing military aeronautics until 1911. At that time the U.S. Army Signal Corps made preparations to open an aviation school at College Park MD. In 1911 the first specific provision of funds for aeronautics made by the U.S. Congress allowed the Signal Corps to order new airplanes. Two Wright B aeroplanes two Curtiss type aeroplanes and one Burgess-Wright aeroplane were ordered and eventually sent to the field in College Park previously used in 1909 for the training of Army pilots. A larger tract of land was leased approximately "200 acres extending north along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad property to a series of goldfish ponds and east to the Paint Branch of the Anacostia River with a maximum cleared runway of 2376 feet in an east-west direction." The Army Quartermaster Department leased the field for $325 per month and erected four temporary wooden hangars 45 feet square along the railroad track. College Part Aviation Museum unknown‎
