An aerospace bibliography

In choosing selections for this bibliography the increasing volume of published material relating to U.S. Air Force operations and activities necessitated great selectivity. Consequently many publications dealing either directly or indirectly with the Air Force have been excluded. Among the more noteworthy of these omissions are the many books and articles dealing essentially with U.S. foreign policy, including Congressional publications. To compensate for these exclusions and to help researchers locate additional publications in Air Force-related fields, an extensive selection of bibliographic sources has been provided in Appendix I. These bibliographies, grouped in eight subject categories, cover a wide range of topics pertaining to aeronautics and aviation and supplement the publications listed in this volume. Also included are Appendix II, Reference Works, and Appendix III, A Guide to Documentary Collections, both of which provide additional suggestions to sources of research material.
