	history & development
		During this period the quality of Aviation Fuel was almost the same as that of regular motor gasoline for automobiles and in many cases inferior to it.
		The next important phase in the evolution of aviation fuel was the recognition of antiknock value and the development of suitable rating method to determine it.
		Until the year 1916, aviation fuel or motor fuel, since the same type of material was used in both automobile and aeroplane engine, was a material of widely varying characteristics.

	Early Contributions to Aviation
		If aircrafts were to be dependent on the whims of changing weather patterns while lacking the capability to communicate with each other or those on the ground, commercial aviation would never be able to develop as a viable transportation mode.
		As early as 1920, the impact that electronic navigation and communication would have on aviation was clearly understood.
		Not only did aviation require navigation technologies to ensure its acceptance as a viable transportation mode; it needed cockpit instrumentation that allowed the pilot to create a "mental model" of the aircraft's attitude, altitude and position during flight in "instrument" conditions.

	Naval Aviation 1930-39
		Forced by this circumstance to effect rigid economies, the expansion of naval aviation was slowed, the aircraft inventory was barely sufficient to equip operating units, research and development programs suffered, and operations were drastically curtailed.
		A major share of its recommendations referred to commercial and civil aviation and in general stressed the needs for a strong air transport, for expanding airport facilities, for improving provisions for aviation in government organization, and for supporting the welfare of the aviation industry, particularly through the establishment of more realistic procurement practices and policy.
		A reduction in the bonus payment upon release to inactive duty was made with the provision that aviation cadets already serving in the fleet be given the option of remaining on the old pay scale with the $1,500 bonus or of accepting commissioned pay and the new $500 discharge payment.
