Technical Preparation of the Airplane "Spirit of St. Louis."
A 1927 NACA technical report page, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, documenting the preparation of Charles Lindbergh's monoplane Spirit of St. Louis for its transatlantic flight. The photographs are plain black-and-white aircraft views on a grey board, showing wings, the nose with its engine, and the NX-211 registration, and a designer might take from them the spare, documentary look of early aviation photography and the stark wing and fuselage geometry of the aircraft.
