INT RODUCT ION 

This bibliography, revised and annotated, was prepared by Miss 

Anita iM. Proffitt of the U. S. Air Force Academy Library staff. 

Since the falcon is the mascot of the United States Air Force 

Academy, an attempt has been made to build up a collection on the 

subject of falconry. The Academy Library now has a large and 

comprehensive collection of material on this subject. 

Because many of the items in the falconry collection are rare and 

valuable editions, they are housed in the Special Collection Branch 

of the Library. The remainder, however, are in the general 

collection. 

The Academy Library also publishes an illustrated brochure on the 

subject of historical falconry with emphasis on cadet participation 

in the sport. The brochure is available upon request from the 

Director of the Academy Library, U. S. Air Force Academy, Colorado 80840.

wrote "Of the three treatises by our old English masters 

of falconry, Turbervile, Latham, and Bert, that of Bert

From certain statements of the author, it would seem 

to have been printed to oblige his friends, and was not 

intended for general circulation ,, . . the fact remains 

that, at the present time the w o r k is practically unprocurable; and this is the more to be regretted, because having been composed by an English falconer of 

great experience, it is still of utility and value to those 

who at the present day would keep hawks and fly them 

at game."
