June 25, 1945.

Major Lester D. Gardner,
Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences,
New York 20, New York.

Dear Lester:-

I am returning the copy of the "Ace Air Reporter" which you sent for my inspection last January.  Please pardon my delay in returning it.  I read it at that time and I found very little in it that was at the same time important and true.  A better description of the book can hardly be offered than that in the first sentence of the forward where the author says: "This is a book not of facts".

One of these days, when the literary spirit moves me, I may write up some of the matters on which you desire more details.

Sincerely yours,
