P. 65-1-97-21 - W.P. 14 for that purpose. They may not be sold. The project, sponsored by the Mayor of the City of New York, receives the cooperation of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences which directs the research and publish­ ing staff workers. Request for Additional References The Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences invites cor­ rections and criticism of the bibliographies and requests that additional references be forwarded to the Institute for inclusion in the final publications. Distribution Requests Persons and organisations desiring copies may apply for them by letter, stating the use for which they are required. These requests will be considered in the order received. Should the supply be exhausted, such requests will receive first consideration v/hen additional copies are published. Robert R. Dexter Aeronautical Engineer Address all correspondence to: John R.
