Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering was a semimonthly magazine, mainly focusing on airplanes, which began publication in August 1916. It was published in New York City by Gardner, Moffat Company, Inc. The war, of course, was a major theme.

Scans of volumes 1–9 (1916–1920) are available on HathiTrust. There are also a number of volumes on Interent Archive, continuing past this date, some of them found in the collection Aviation Week & Space Technology 1916-2016. (" Aviation Week & Space Technology is a trade journal published in United States focused on Aeronautics And Space Flight. This collection contains microfilm published between 1916 and 2016. The ISSN is 0005-2175. ")

The magazine published lists of aeronautical patents filed at the U.S. office: see, for example, "Aeronautical Patents" on January 15, 1917.

The editorial board identified in the first issue was:

Statement of purpose in first issue:

The future of the aeroplane will depend largely on the use that is made of the technical information that is being gathered in all parts of the world. As this data is made available to the constructor and engine maker, they will find its utilization more and more imperative for the scientific improvement in design and construction from the standpoint of safety and efficiency. [...]
Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering intends to assemble this vast amount of material and make it useful to the constructor, the engine maker, the aviator, and the sportsman. It will follow construction both abroad and in the United States, and present the latest developments in accurate, scientific, and unbiased form. (7)
