Description

U.S. Air Services was initially a weekly and then monthly American aeronautics magazine published from 1917 through 1956. Originally issued weekly (starting July 12, 1917) in New York as the U.S. Air Service Journal, as of 1920 (Vol. III) it was published monthly. Publication moved to Washington, D.C. soon thereafter. Despite its military-sounding title, the monthly's pages covered both civil and military aviation issues. Content most often included reprinted speeches or summaries of important reports, plus some original material, including short news stories and reviews of recent books. The magazine's motto was "Devoted to the development of aeronautics - civil and military - in the United States, birthplace of the flying machine, and throughout the world."
