Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography contains selected references on agricultural aviation published during 1958-1963. Any articles published during this period but indexed later than 1963 are not included. It supplements Bibliographical Bulletin 8 (covering 1919-1944) and Library List 65 (covering 1945-1957). Except for the additional feature of an author index, the list is essentially the same in scope and arrangement as Library List 65. It covers the operational and economic aspects of aircraft use in spraying, dusting, seeding, and fertilizing. Many of the references deal with insect control. The compiler sought to include all pertinent citations to agricultural aircraft, their equipment, accessories, and uses, and to techniques and methods of dispersal of chemicals, seeds, and fertilizers. Many uses of aircraft have been omitted, specifically the use of aircraft in fire control, in aerial surveying and mapping, and for personal and cargo transport. Material dealing only with evaluation of entomological results of spraying or dusting has generally been omitted.
