Introduction

More than 63 years have elapsed since the U. S. Government
signed a contract with the Wright brothers to buy the world’s first
military aircraft. Its delivery in August 1908 for a series of trial
flights stirred great public interest and thousands of Washington,
D. C., residents crossed the Potomac to nearby Fort Myer, Va., to
watch the aerial show. Among them were President William H. Taft,
members of his cabinet, and, according to one account, “everyone of
consequence in the social set in the Capital City.” Also on hand were
members of the press, who reported the successful start of the flights
on September 3 and, two weeks later, the tragic crash which seriously
injured Orville Wright, the pilot, and killed his passenger, Lt.
Thomas E. Selfridge. The latter had the unhappy distinction of
becoming the first airplane fatality in history.

The reports of the Fort Myer events, published extensively in
America and Europe, marked the beginning of an immense flood of
literature about military aviation and aviators, and their deeds in war
and peace. This annotated bibliography on U. S. Air Force history
is a sampling of that literature, prepared primarily for the student and
scholar. It was compiled in the Office of Air Force History by Mrs.
Mary Ann Cresswell, the staff archivist, and Mr. Carl Berger, chief
of the Histories Division. In addition to screening recent books and
articles, they consulted a number of previously published bibliog-
raphies for pertinent items, most of which were subsequently examined
for inclusion here. Significant contributions to this work also were
made by staff editors Lawrence Paszek and Eugene P. Sagstetter, Mrs.
Selma Shear, who typed the manuscript, and Air Force field historians,
who reviewed and commented on the preliminary draft.
