Excerpt from Bibliography of Aeronautics The interest of the Smithsonian Institution in aeronautics dates almost from the beginning of its work. Its early investigations in meteor ology and later researches in the nature of the atmosphere under the Hodgkins Fund are fully treated in its publications. As early as 1861 the Institution was asked for assistance in carrying out experiments to cross the Atlantic by means of a balloon, and in 1863 published two papers on the general subject of aeronautics, one being a translation from the works of Francis Arago, entitled Aeronautical Voyages Performed with a View to the Advancement of Science, and the other an account of balloon ascensions by James Glaisher. Since the latter date it has issued some thirty-five publications on various phases of the subject. The greatest era in the development of aeronautical science in connec tion with the Institution began, however, when, in 1887, Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley became Secretary. His publication entitled Experi ments in Aerodynamics, in which the laws of flight as deduced by him were for the first time stated, appeared in 1891. Later he added to this another important technical publication, The Internal Work of the Wind. He was the first to construct a successful model of a heavier than-air machine that would sustain itself in flight under its own power. This model was built mainly of steel and was driven by a steam engine. On May 6, 1896, it made two flights, each over half a mile in length, and a third flight of nearly a mile was made in November of the same year by a similar mechanism of Mr. Langley's construction. On the eighth of August, 1903, a quarter - size counterpart of his man-carrying machine propelled by a gasoline engine was successfully tested, and it is conceded by experts that, but for an accident in the launching, his large machine, with Mr. Charles M. Manly as operator, would have flown in 1903. Dr. Langley's latest experiments in mechanical flight, recorded by him in copious and painstaking notes, are now in course of preparation for publi cation by the Institution.

Excerpt from The Conquest of the Air: Aeronautics Aviation, History: Theory: Practice If one also recalls the fact that it was in the course of this same year, 1909, that the two most remarkable voyages were accomplished by dirigible balloons, which have definitely asserted the possibility of their practical application, one will understand that the highway of the atmosphere is now open, and that the Conquest of the Air has become an accomplished fact. The moment is therefore Opportune to explain how this conquest has been effected, to describe the principles of the construction and control of aerial vessels, dirigible balloons, or aviation apparatus; that is my reason for writing this book.

The publication of this revised and updated edition of the classic, Wilbur & Orville Wright: A Bibliography Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Wilbur Wright, April 16, 1867, is an event worth celebrating. I have three copies of the 1968 Library of Congress original: one within easy reach at home, one within easy reach at work, and a third copy squirreled away just in case one of the other two goes missing. All three copies are dog-eared and literally coming apart at the seams. Few books in my library have seen more use over the years. It is fitting to open this new edition with a few words about the extraordinary scholar who created the bibliography. The Wright brothers were still perfecting their invention when Arthur George Renstrom was born in Willmar, Minnesota, in 1905. He earned a BA from the University of Minnesota, a BS in library science from the University of Illinois, and an MS in library science from Columbia University. He joined the Library of Congress staff as a cataloger in 1931, and found his true calling when he became reference librarian of the Aeronautics Division in 1935. Over the next four decades, he developed a well-earned reputa-tion as the leading American bibliographer of the air age, with a string of important publications that includ-ed: Principal U.S. Investigations in Aeronautics, 1918- 1937 (1938); Subject Headings for the Aeronautical Index (1940); Aeronautic Americana: A Bibliography of Book and Pamphlets on Aeronautics Published in America Before 1909 (1943); Aeronautics in Alaska: A List of References (1944); United States Aviation Policy: A Selective Bibliography (1947); and Aeropolitics: A Selected Bibliography on the Influence of Aviation on Society (1948).
