Naval Aviation History
The Naval Aviation History Office was established in January 1942. The office deals with subject matter on Naval Aviation from its beginnings in 1911 to the present time. It provides research assistance, maintains record collections and publishes articles, monographs and books on Naval Aviation.
Due to staff limitations,
the office only responds to official government phone requests
at (202) 433-4355. All other requests must be submitted in writing.
Extensive personal research requests
are beyond the scope of the
office. The general public should submit their requests in writing
.
Processing time for reference requests is 4 to 8 weeks.
This office is CLOSED to researchers as we prepare to relocate to Bldg.
70. We look forward to serving you once the office reopens on or about 1 October.
