This folder contains correspondence requesting Edison's advice, assistance, or opinion on matters relating to aviation. The two selected items for 1918 are a letter from John P. Tarbox of Curtiss Engineering Corp. regarding plastic materials for building test models of planes and a response from Edison's personal assistant, William H. Meadowcroft, inviting Tarbox to come to the laboratory to talk the matter over with Edison.
The six unselected items are unsolicited inquiries about airplane use, which received routine replies advising the writer to contact the federal government instead.
