This one has been digitized and we are uploading its records to this site. Some are done. The publication numbers beginning with B2 are for this Brockett 2 volume, and the code for each entry has a page number prefixed by p and an entry-number-on-the-page prefixed by e. (e.g. Publication B2p0013e04, 1913, The direction of aerial highways‎)

The next volume in the series was Brockett, 1923, covering 1917–1919, followed by Brockett, 1925, for 1920–191.

See Introduction:

The publication of this Bibliography of Aeronautics by the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics was authorized by law, by act of Congress approved July 1, 1918. This work covers the literature published from July 1, 1909, to December 31, 1916, and continues the work of the Smithsonian Institution issued as volume 55 of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, which covered the material published prior to June 30, 1909.

There follows a very brief overview of progress in the field from 1909–1916, and a promise to present another bibliography for 1917–1919 ([3]) and annually thereafter.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AERONAUTICS

Introduction (directly from the 1916 book)

The publication of this Bibliography of Aeronautics by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was authorized by law, by act of Congress approved July 1, 1918. This work covers the literature published from July 1, 1909, to December 31, 1916, and continues the work of the Smithsonian Institution issued as volume 55 of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, which covered the material published prior to June 30, 1909.

Aeronautics was passing through a transition period from 1909 to 1916, and these years were important, as aircraft of the heavier-than-air types were just emerging from obscurity and ridicule in 1909. Langley had published his pioneer works, "The Internal Work of the Wind," and "Aerodynamics," and had proved his theories by the practical demonstration of his model heavier-than-air machine. The Wright Brothers had glided and flown in a heavier-than-air machine, and Count Zeppelin had passenger-carrying airships operating in Germany. A brief interval of research followed these epoch-making advances until 1914, when the accumulated knowledge on this subject was called into service for the World War. The advance in aeronautics from that time until 1916 was by leaps and bounds, and resulted in the development of aeronautics as the most important factor in the World War.

As in the Smithsonian volume, citations of the publications of all nations have been included in the languages in which these publications originally appeared. The arrangement is dictionary form with author and subject entry, and one alphabetical arrangement. Detail in the matter of subject reference has been omitted on account of the cost of presentation, but an attempt has been made to give sufficient cross reference for research in special lines.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics will next present a bibliography for the years 1917, 1918, and 1919, in one volume, and will prepare a bibliography annually thereafter until further notice.
