The Story of American Aviation, written by Jim Ray, is a thrilling story of how the Airplane evolved and the part it has played in the War and Peacetime history of the United States of America. The work as a whole is directed towards a sound con-ception of the steps which have been taken in aircraft development and the engineering advancement which underlines the structure of our swiftly developing air age.
As we look over the record of the astounding progress of American aviation in many years, let us salute our military leaders who have visual-ized the need for air power; the men who have designed and built our great engines and air-planes, and the leaders of commercial aviation who have made air travel fast, safe and eco-nomical.
