The book explores the pivotal role of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in advancing aeronautics following the Wright brothers' first flight. Established in 1915, NACA focused on scientific research to solve flight-related challenges, producing over 16,000 reports that remain relevant today. The narrative traces the evolution of government involvement in aerospace research and development, culminating in the establishment of NASA in 1958, which continued NACA's vital work in the field.
