Excerpt from Aircraft Year Book, 1919 The Year Book, as a first effort, has deficiencies and crudities. It will, nevertheless, give the reader in picture and writing a record of the aircraft industry which he has never before possessed. It is hoped that journals, libraries, and individual readers will find this record valuable. It is believed that the American public will, through its pages, get a fuller understanding of aviation and a deeper conviction of its growing place in the national life.
