"The documents of that period were so old, however, that they were not listed in the modern computerized library search systems" 1

Several people using a library. Many are seated at tables reading books. There are book shelves, file cabinets for index cards, and a microfische reader.
NACA Cleveland library, circa 1945.

Summary

210 NACA icing publications were identified, and the references were included in a database.

Discussion

I have assembled a database of 210 NACA-NASA* icing publications. 132 were cited in “Selected Bibliography of NACA-NASA Aircraft Icing Publications” 1. I also identified 78 additional NACA icing publications in the NTRS 2 that were not cited in 1.

The format of the citations in the NACA publications varies over the years. For the database, the citations were updated to a consistent format similar to MLA format (similar to that used in current NASA publications).

The document identifiers such as “NACA TN 1907” were updated to the format used in the NTRS, such as “NACA-TN-1907”.

Some publications were written concurrently with other publications, so the citation has an incomplete document identifier, such as “Preliminary Investigation and Design of an Air-Heated Wing for Lockheed 12A Airplane” cited as “NACA ARR” in NACA-ARR-5A03. In most cases, this could be resolved to a specific document, as in this case, to “NACA-WR-A-34”. On the NTRS, there are sometimes several identifiers for the same publication. I picked one for consistency.

The names of authors were abbreviated differently in various publications. These were resolved into the most complete name. For example, “Gray, V.” and “Gray, V. H.” were resolved to “Gray, Vernon H.” (Note that the NTRS has several abbreviations for “Gray, Vernon H.”)

For 207 of the 211 NACA icing citations (four publications were not available to follow the citations), the references were added to the database, resulting in 653 unique citations.

Many of the citations had to be transcribed manually, so there may be still be typos.

The four publications that I could not find copies of are:

  • Two references to NASA-TM-X-54700, which purportedly documents the “Compilation of the Paper Presented at NACA Conference on Some Problems of Aircraft Operation". However, the citation NASA-TM-X-54700 appears to be an error, as on the ntrs it is listed as “Space radiation- a compilation and discussion”. The “Compilation of the Paper Presented at NACA Conference on Some Problems of Aircraft Operation" is available as a print book.
    • von Glahn, Uwe H.: "Some Considerations for the Need of Icing Protection of High-Speed, High-Altitude Airplanes", NACA Conference on Some Problems of Aircraft Operation. NASA-TM-82265, 1954.
