SMITHSONIAN STUDIES IN AIR AND SPACE • NUMBER 2 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given sub­ stantive review.

We have a lot to thank him for, Consequently, any publication, however modest, dealing with Fly Baby, should begin with an introduction by Pete.

UPDEN FERGUSON Ss to be commended for his initiative and industry in offering to compile, edit, and publish such a document on a monthly basis. It is his hope and mine that the BULLETIN will, with the help of the builders and flyers, become a valuable publication and a worth-while and interesting source of information about F"LU BABY builders, their problems, and their accomplishments, While some information can be provided by the designer, most of it will have to come from YOU, the reader. Don't feel that you have to be a "Pro" writer in order to have something published, You're among friends and the BULLETIN will be as informal as a bull session out in thb shop. If you are having problems in finding materials, or have stumbled onto a good source, send in the word. If you had construction problems and licked them on your own, others will be grateful for the information. If you just want to sound off on the joys of flying your own FLU BABY, here's your soapbox! One personal benefit that I expect to derive from the existence of the BULLETIN is a great reduction in ,the personal "Problem" and "Where'hail that has to be answered.

The first time the Wright brothers made a 360-degree banked turn, the idea of aircraft development for more thrilling control of an aircraft started. With the development of the aircraft in 1904, each new aircraft manoeuvre was more thrilling to the public. Large paying audiences soon tired of watching pilots perform simple flying exhibits and demanded more thrills and danger. Pilots competed to develop flying tricks and stunts leading to aerobatic manoeuvres. Did you know? Flying clubs were created soon after the development of the aircraft. To teach new pilots how to fly and handle the numerous new aircraft being developed, clubs were created by individuals and builders such as Curtis. In 1905, Count Henri de la Vauix, vice-president of the Aero Club of France gave a presentation to the Olympic Congress of Brussels for the formation of a universal aeronautical federation to regulate the various aviation meetings and advance the science and sport of aeronautics. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) was formed by countries including: Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and The US. Daredevils Did you know? A daredevil is defined as a reckless, impulsive, and irresponsible person.
