Robie, Bill For the Greatest Achievement: a History of the Aero Club of America and the National Aeronautic Association
Washington Smithsonian Institution Press 1993 1560981873 / 9781560981879 Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Xx, 378 pages, 8 plates, cloth, DJ, very good. From Amazon's website: "Unlike typical institutional histories, this book is much more than an account of what went on within an organization. It traces the development of flight in the U. S. By viewing aviation from the perspective of the Aero Club of America and its successor, the National Aeronautic Association. With a focus more upon the early days of flying, this is an especially valuable resource for researchers and others interested in the pioneering era of flight. Included in the expansive appendicies are lists of America's first holders of flying licences -- issued by the Aero Club decades before the U. S. Government became involved. Also shown are the names of the country's first military aviators, licensed balloonists and dirigible pilots, and a wealth of other information."
