 PREFACE

This bibliography contains selected references on agricultural aviation published during 1945-57. It covers the
operational and economic aspects of aircraft use in spraying, dusting, seeding, and fertilizing. Many of the refer-
ences deal with insect control. The compiler sought to include all pertinent citations to agricultural aircraft, their
equipment and accessories, and uses, and to techniques and methods of dispersal of chemicals, seeds, and fertilizers.

Many uses of aircraft have been omitted, specifically the use of aircraft in fire control, in aerial surveying and
mapping, and for personal and cargo transport. Material dealing only with evaluation of entomological results of
spraying or dusting has also been omitted.

The assistance of Harold E. Pinches of the Agricultural Research Service in defining the scope of the bibliography and
in reviewing the manuscript for subject classification is gratefully acknowledged.

All references except those marked with an asterisk (*) were examined by the compiler.
