Summary

[edit]
Description
English: NASA was created from the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics in 1958. This is a photo of the members of the advisory board of NACA in 1938.

NACA was the governmental organization charged with the supervision and conduct of scientific laboratory research in aeronautics. Its laboratories located at Langley Field, Virginia, provide new knowledge underlying the continuous improvement in the performance, efficiency, and safety of American aircraft.

At this meeting Dr. Joesph S. Ames, President Emeritus of Johns Hopkins University, was re-elected Chairman, and Dr. Vannevar Bush, President-elect of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, was elected Vice Chairman.

Dr. Ames' re-election as chairman was a recognition of his outstanding contributions to the science of aeronautics. He has been the leading scientific member of the Committee for over twenty-three years and chairman for eleven years. Under his visionary leadership the great laboratories of the N.A.C.A. at Langley Field have been developed.
