The publication <strong>of</strong> this revised <strong>and</strong> updated edition<br />
<strong>of</strong> the classic, <strong>Wilbur</strong> & <strong>Orville</strong> <strong>Wright</strong>: A Bibliography<br />
Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Birth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wilbur</strong> <strong>Wright</strong>, April 16, 1867, is an event<br />
worth celebrating. I have three copies <strong>of</strong> the 1968<br />
Library <strong>of</strong> Congress original: one within easy reach at<br />
home, one within easy reach at work, <strong>and</strong> a third copy<br />
squirreled away just in case one <strong>of</strong> the other two goes<br />
missing. All three copies are dog-eared <strong>and</strong> literally<br />
coming apart at the seams. Few books in my library<br />
have seen more use over the years.<br />
It is fitting to open this new edition with a few<br />
words about the extraordinary scholar who created the<br />
bibliography. The <strong>Wright</strong> brothers were still perfecting<br />
their invention when Arthur George Renstrom was<br />
born in Willmar, Minnesota, in 1905. He earned a BA<br />
from the University <strong>of</strong> Minnesota, a BS in library sci-<br />
FOREWORD<br />
An Appreciation <strong>of</strong> Arthur Renstrom<br />
ence from the University <strong>of</strong> Illinois, <strong>and</strong> an MS in<br />
library science from Columbia University. He joined<br />
the Library <strong>of</strong> Congress staff as a cataloger in 1931,<br />
<strong>and</strong> found his true calling when he became reference<br />
librarian <strong>of</strong> the Aeronautics Division in 1935. Over the<br />
next four decades, he developed a well-earned reputation<br />
as the leading American bibliographer <strong>of</strong> the air<br />
age, with a string <strong>of</strong> important publications that included:<br />
Principal U.S. Investigations in Aeronautics, 1918-<br />
1937 (1938); Subject Headings for the Aeronautical<br />
Index (1940); Aeronautic Americana: A Bibliography <strong>of</strong><br />
Book <strong>and</strong> Pamphlets on Aeronautics <strong>Published</strong> in<br />
America Before 1909 (1943); Aeronautics in Alaska: A<br />
List <strong>of</strong> References (1944); United States Aviation Policy:<br />
A Selective Bibliography (1947); <strong>and</strong> Aeropolitics: A<br />
Selected Bibliography on the Influence <strong>of</strong> Aviation on<br />
Society (1948).<br />

A Bibliography vii
Marvin W. McFarl<strong>and</strong> invited Arthur Renstrom to<br />
join him <strong>and</strong> the other Library <strong>of</strong> Congress staffers who<br />
would produce The Papers <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wilbur</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Orville</strong><br />
<strong>Wright</strong> (New York: McGraw—Hill, 1953) during its<br />
formative period. The detailed bibliography that he<br />
prepared for that publication would continue to grow<br />
over the years, forming the basis for <strong>Wilbur</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Orville</strong><br />
<strong>Wright</strong>: A Bibliography. Fascinated by the <strong>Wright</strong>s,<br />
Mr. Renstrom produced two more important reference<br />
works: <strong>Wilbur</strong> & <strong>Orville</strong> <strong>Wright</strong>: A Chronology<br />
Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Birth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Orville</strong> <strong>Wright</strong>, August 19, 1871 (Washington,<br />
D.C.: Library <strong>of</strong> Congress, 1975) <strong>and</strong> <strong>Wilbur</strong> & <strong>Orville</strong><br />
<strong>Wright</strong>, Pictorial Materials: A Documentary Guide<br />
(Washington, D.C.: Library <strong>of</strong> Congress, 1982).<br />
Mr. Renstrom served as Assistant Head <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Aeronautics Division until 1953, when that unit was<br />
reorganized as a section <strong>of</strong> the Science <strong>and</strong> Technology<br />
Division. He was eventually named head <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Aeronautics Section, a post that he held until his retirement.<br />
While he never lost interest in the early history <strong>of</strong><br />
flight, he was by no means mired in the past. For several<br />
years he produced an annual, Aeronautics <strong>and</strong><br />
Astronautics: Chronology on Science, Policy, <strong>and</strong><br />
Technology, for the National Aeronautics <strong>and</strong> Space<br />
Administration. He also compiled Aeronautical <strong>and</strong><br />
Space Serials: A World List (1962), A Bibliographic<br />
Note on the <strong>History</strong> <strong>of</strong> Rocket Technology (1964), <strong>and</strong><br />
UFO s <strong>and</strong> Related Subjects: An Annotated<br />
Bibliography (1969).<br />
Foreword<br />
viii <strong>Wilbur</strong> & <strong>Orville</strong> <strong>Wright</strong><br />
Arthur Renstrom retired on July 31, 1975, after 44<br />
years <strong>of</strong> service to the Library <strong>of</strong> Congress. He died in<br />
Roseville, Minnesota, on March 19, 1991.<br />
As a graduate student, I was fortunate enough to<br />
have done research in the Science <strong>and</strong> Technology<br />
Division when Marvin McFarl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Arthur<br />
Renstrom were still very much in charge. Both men<br />
took genuine delight in sharing their unparalleled comm<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> the literature <strong>of</strong> flight <strong>and</strong> their commitment to<br />
meticulous scholarship, qualities that are apparent in<br />
their publications.<br />
This new edition has been updated to cover the<br />
years since 1968. That work was undertaken by the<br />
Federal Research Division <strong>of</strong> the Library <strong>of</strong> Congress<br />
under contract with the U.S. Centennial <strong>of</strong> Flight<br />
Commission. The bibliography is now online at<br />
the Centennial <strong>of</strong> Flight Commission web site,<br />
We<br />
can thank the NASA <strong>History</strong> <strong>Office</strong> for reissuing it as a<br />
monograph. I have no doubt that copies <strong>of</strong> this edition<br />
will grow dog-eared <strong>and</strong> smudged from years <strong>of</strong> use by<br />
a new generation <strong>of</strong> enthusiasts fascinated by the story <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Wilbur</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Orville</strong> <strong>Wright</strong>. Thank you Mr. Renstrom.<br />

This article takes issue with Percy B. Walker who<br />
maintained, in his work on the history <strong>of</strong> British aviation,<br />
that the <strong>Wright</strong> brothers <strong>and</strong> not the British<br />
authorities were responsible for the failure <strong>of</strong> the<br />
negotiations to sell their flyer to the British government.<br />
He accused <strong>Wilbur</strong> <strong>of</strong> muddled thinking for<br />
asserting in the letter that the British government was<br />
given the first chance to purchase the invention when<br />
the U.S. government had already been approached.<br />
Furthermore, the <strong>Wright</strong>s did approach the War <strong>Office</strong><br />
between 1906 <strong>and</strong> 1908, contrary to an inaccurate<br />
assertion by Walker.<br />

Popular journal article discussing the influence <strong>of</strong><br />
the bicycle on the development <strong>of</strong> the airplane both<br />
for the analogy <strong>of</strong> bicycling <strong>and</strong> flying in the public<br />

solved particularly the problem <strong>of</strong> control <strong>and</strong> balance<br />
in all three axes <strong>of</strong> motion <strong>and</strong> the need for<br />
weight reduction. The author argues that the <strong>Wright</strong><br />
brothers experience with the bicycle was an important<br />
factor, but it was their genius that was the decisive<br />
factor in their invention <strong>of</strong> the airplane.<br />

Ph.D. dissertation in the history <strong>of</strong> science.<br />
Detailed <strong>and</strong> extensive study on how the <strong>Wright</strong><br />
brothers solved the technical problems <strong>of</strong> flight,<br />
including the important role <strong>of</strong> their experience in<br />
building bicycles, <strong>and</strong> their ability to conceptualize<br />
practical solutions to mechanical problems using<br />
nonverbal graphic mental imagery. The author argues<br />
that the <strong>Wright</strong> brothers used a strictly engineering<br />
rather than theoretical approach <strong>and</strong> solved the basic<br />
elements <strong>of</strong> mechanical flight, particularly the need<br />
to balance stability <strong>and</strong> control in three axes, solutions<br />
basically still used today, in their 1902 glider,<br />
<strong>and</strong> that even though their solutions were improved<br />
on even in their own lifetime, especially in Europe,<br />
they deserve full credit for being the first to solve the<br />
problem.<br />

built a redesigned look-alike, as they describe it themselves,<br />
which has the same dimensions as the original<br />
but has wings made <strong>of</strong> steel instead <strong>of</strong> wood <strong>and</strong> fabric,<br />
uses ailerons instead <strong>of</strong> wing warping, <strong>and</strong> is powered<br />

engine. Their reproduction was completed in 1982<br />

to build an exact replica which they eventually<br />
hope to fly. The article presents different views on<br />

Decision rendered April 29, 1911, by the French<br />
Third Civil Tribunal. Although technically the judgment<br />
was rendered in favor <strong>of</strong> the Compagnie<br />
G n rale de Navigation A rienne, French concessionaire<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Wright</strong> patents, the final decision was withheld<br />
pending presentation <strong>of</strong> evidence by MM.<br />
L aut , Renard, <strong>and</strong> Deprez purporting to prove that<br />
the <strong>Wright</strong>s were not the first to use the principles<br />
covered by their patents. The action against Santos-<br />
Dumont was dismissed on the ground that he constructed<br />
aeroplanes for his own use <strong>and</strong> did not<br />
infringe the patent law.<br />
