United States. War Department. Division of Military Aeronautics

The Division of Military Aeronautics was not a single writer, but a U.S. War Department organization active during World War I. It emerged in 1918 during a major reorganization of Army aviation and handled matters such as personnel, training, and operations, while aircraft production was managed separately.

Although the division existed under that name only briefly before Army aviation was consolidated again, it is remembered as part of the early lineage of the U.S. Army Air Service. Government manuals and reports credited to this body are useful today because they capture the practical, fast-moving effort to build American air power during the war.

Because this is a corporate author rather than an individual person, a standard author portrait is not really available. In the sources reviewed, I could confirm the organization and its role, but I did not find a suitable real portrait image of a specific author.
