The collections of the Library of Congress in the history of aeronautics are plausibly the best in the world. Aside from some limited efforts describing aeronautics in the Library's special collections, however, no really substantial guide for researchers exists whose goal is to direct investigators to those resources on a Library-wide basis. Aeronautical and Astonautical Resources of the Library of Congress: A Comprehensive Guide is the first comprehensive, annotated guide to the Library's collections concerning the history of aeronautics and astronautics. This guide covers not only the Library's special collections in those fields--such as its manuscripts, photographs, rare books, and maps--but also the deep and broad holdings in what might be described as the Library's under-explored giant, its general collection.
