This Day in History:

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PST/-8.0/no DST' instead in /home/aahso2/public_html/index.php on line 105

The Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (later the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics(NACA)) was established by a rider to the Naval Appropriations Act "...to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view of their practical solution." $5,000 a year was appropriated for 5 years—total appropriation for USN aeronautics was $1 million. Evolved into NASA Oct 1, 1958.

The American Aviation Historical Society, organized more than fifty years ago, is dedicated to documenting and sharing information about the people, places, planes and events that comprise American aviation. The Society is a registered 501.3.c non-profit educational organization and welcomes all individuals with an interest in American aviation to its membership.
