Unit History:

NACA’s expanding role led to the creation of its first research and testing facility in 1920, the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory. NACA’s personnel expanded as well. The new laboratory employed a staff of 11 technicians and 4 professionals and, by 1925, the staff had grown to over 100 employees. NACA’s main committee added the positions of executive officer, held by George Lewis, in 1919, and secretary, in 1921, held by John F. Victory.
