This compilation provides references to a variety of materials and sources in the collections of the 

Library of Congress that pertain to the history, present status, and uses of aircraft. An aircraft is any 

machine or device capable of atmospheric flight. Aircraft can be classified as fixed-wing, rotarywing, flapping-wing, and lighter-than-air. The first three classes are heavier-than-air vehicles. Four 

forces act on a heavier-than-air vehicle in flight through the atmosphere: weight, aerodynamic lift, 

drag, and thrust. Unlike a lighter-than-air vehicle such as a balloon or blimp, whose weight is 

balanced by an upward buoyancy force, a heavier-than-air aircraft must be propelled and 

maintained in the air. The scope of this guide is limited to heavier-than-air aircraft. For lighter-thanair aircraft refer to related Tracer Bullet TB 00-5 Balloons and Airships. Another related Tracer 

Bullet is TB 00-3 Aerodynamics (Mechanics of Flight). Not intended to be a comprehensive 

bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on 

target."
