The aerospace industry was born at the dawn of the twentieth century, when the internal combustion engine was joined to the balloon and the glider. America's contribution to it is vast, ranging from the first airplane and the first modern rocket to the latest in avionics. NACA, succeeded by NASA, has been present for all but the first few years of this grand drama. This bibliography covers the past and present of the aerospace industry.
