Primary Responsibilities Research and Writing Currently at work on "The Struggle for the Long-Range Heavy Bomber: The United States Army air Corps, 1934-1939. This book examines the fight between the Army Air Corps, the Army, and the Navy over the introduction of a new generation of long-range heavy bombers during the interwar period. Questions of cost, of departmental responsibility, and of the relationship between business and industry, all play key roles in the search for this elusive aircraft and ultimately which military branch controls the air. Underlying all of these issues is the question of whether or not the United States needs a separate, independent air force.

This business history will trace the story of this important airline from its creation in 1930 from the ambitious but unprofitable Transcontinental Air Transport, formed by Clement Keys with technical assistance from Charles Lindbergh, and parts for the successful Western Air Express of Harris Hanshue through World War II and its reorganization as Trans World Airlines under Howard Hughes.

  • What Is the NACA Model of Research & Development
    Reflections on a Century of Aerospace Development Roger D. Launius National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. • Introduction • Establishing an R&D Structure • The NACA and the Aeronautics Revolution of the 1930s • The NACA and the X-1 • The NACA Reaches into Space • Conclusions 2 NASA’s pathways into twenty-first century: . New space vehicles owned and operated by NASA. “Return” to NACA model of R&D. NACA created in 1915, charter called for it “to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked, and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions.” So what was the NACA model for aerospace research and development (R&D)? Wright Brothers first flight, December 17, 1903. Within decade technological capability had migrated to Europe. U.S. technology mired in patent wars, other difficulties. No investment by U.S. government. NACA specific attempt to resolve this problem. 4 Charles Miller’s Assessment 5 One of the most astute observers of the NACA’s research approach, Charles E. Miller, has made the case that the NACA’s guiding principle required it to “Build an Industry, Not a Program.” The NACA approach in accomplishing this principle, according to Miller, was aimed at open innovation with industry as the central customer. He also concluded that the NACA achieved consensus on which problems to pursue but that the results were open to all. In addition, as Miller emphasized: “No government competition with the private sector.
