It began publication in 1921, originally appearing as the Official bulletin of the World's Board of Aeronautical
Commissioners. At its inception Aero Digest was a channel for supporting and boosting the emerging fields of flight
and aircraft manufacturing. Rich in early advertising for early aircraft tools and technologies, the Digest published
policy positions, some technical articles and illustrations, and extensive humorous and lighthearted writing on the
culture of industry and profession. As the industry and the field of flight progressed the publication broadened scope
to cover missiles and missiles science as well as satellites. The magazine's subject matter became more scientific and
technical at the same time, including more and more drawings, plans, and pieces on the physics of flight as time went
on. Aero Digest ceased publication in 1956. " (From Internet Archive) #44072 $20
