About the author
Formed in April 1918, the Division of Military Aeronautics was part of a major reorganization of U.S. Army aviation during World War I. It emerged from changes to the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, at a time when the War Department was trying to manage training, personnel, and the fast growth of military flying.
The division existed only briefly under that exact name, but it belongs to an important chapter in the early history of American air administration. Publications credited to it often focus on the urgent, practical needs of wartime aviation, including training and medical guidance for air service personnel.
Because this is a government organization rather than an individual author, there is no suitable personal portrait to use here.
