	Naval Aviation 1898-1916
		The first real study of what was needed in aviation was conducted by a board under Chambers' leadership and included in its recommendations the establishment of a ground and flight training center at Pensacola, the expansion of research, and the assignment of an airplane to every major combatant ship of the Navy.
		This temporary assignment, the first use of naval aviators as observers in foreign lands, was a precedent for the assignment of aviation assistants to naval attaches, which began the same month when Lieutenant J. Towers was sent to London.
		Aviation mechanics were to have knowledge of aircraft maintenance and aviation machinists were to have similar knowledge of motors.

	Tales of Old China
		Once already the gallant aviator had flown over Shanghai, and so successful had he been in his flights that people were forgetful of the dangers of the air, but, when all seemed to be going well, these were brought home with redoubled force.
		It was the intention of the aviation party to leave Shanghai almost at once for Tientsin, and M. Petin, the leader of the group, had gone north to make arrangements.
		Rene Vallon, although he did not enjoy the renown of such aviators as Pamhan, Farman, Grahame White and the Wright brothers, was nevertheless a daring aviator and but for the dreadful calamity which overtook him on Saturday he would undoubtedly have achieved great fame.

	Wingless Eagle: U.S. Army Aviation through World War I, by Herbert A. Johnson. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By 1916 the positive contributions that knowledgeable aviator members made to the Aviation Section were outweighed by the disruptive influence of the publicists upon congressional attitudes and military discipline.
		It was presidential and congressional reluctance to adequately fund army aviation that retarded progress, and not lack of awareness on the part of the army high command.
		The war was thus both an epilogue to the struggles and troubles of the first decade of army aviation, and a prologue to the struggle for long-range bombardment and separation from the army as a distinct and coequal air force.
