Goldstein examines 100 years of American flight research. The Smithsonian Institution's regents recommended in Feb 1915 that Congress establish a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), based largely on the similarly named British organization. From a modest $5,000 allocation by Congress, NACA emerged as the pacesetter for practical civil and military aviation research and provided the foundations for the US space program. This early history is sometimes overshadowed by NASA's space triumphs following its founding in 1958 and absorption of NACA.
