Nomination for 1944 Award of Collier's Weekly Trophy:

To the men, women and children; the animals, wild and domesticated; the trees and other plants, with particular credit to spinach for its great gift to manpower; the mines and other objects animate or inanimate; living or existing in any part of America except Argentina and Chile; who and which have contributed work, woods, hides, furs, fibers, wools, minerals or anything else to the building and use of the aeroplane, which have been the greatest achievement in aviation in the past year.

NOTE: With but slight amendment the nomination would be equally good for many years to come, and all the awards for the next 100 years could be made now by one committee, thus relieving future generations of work and worry.
