The United States Aeronautical Reserve was planned to be a nation-wide association of aeroplane inventors, designers and builders of aeroplane engines and other aerial equipment; Army and Navy officials prominent in the regular service and in state militias; and all others interested in aeronautics. A library was planned. [1]
Started by Commodore John Barry Ryan who recruited 3,200 members at the 1910 Boston meet. Richard B. Sinclair, New York City, was general secretary.[1]
An executive order of 13 July 1916 created an "Aeronautical Reserve for the U.S. Army".[2] Its relationship to the above body is not clear and perhaps it should have its own entry as a separate organization.
