APPENDIX B 



Partial Bibliography Relating to Aerial Loco- 

 motion, Prepared, through the Courtesy of 

 the Smithsonian Institution, by Dr Cyrus 

 Adler, Assistant Secretary, in Charge of 

 Library and Exchanges. 



Dr Adler says : 



"In accordance with your request, I am 

 authorized to send you herewith a list of the 

 writings of S. P. Langley, Octave Chanute, 

 Otto Lilienthal, Lawrence Hargrave, and A. M. 

 Herring, to be used in connection with your 

 recent paper on aerial locomotion. I ought to 

 explain that, excepting in the case of Mr 

 Langley's writings, I am not at all sure that 

 the lists are complete, since the time afforded 

 for bringing together the references was very 

 short, and of course there may be publications 

 in out-of-the-way journals which would only 

 be revealed by a more extended inquiry. I 

 have also appended a list of papers on the 

 subject published by the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion, as the Smithsonian publications are acces- 

 sible in all libraries throughout the country, 

 whereas many of the publications cited in the 

 other lists are not readily to be found."
