On March 3, 1915, the NACA was founded \u201cto supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the NACA began as a committee of only 12 leaders representing government, military, and industry, it rapidly expanded through World War II to develop America\u2019s flight capabilities for defense and commercial uses. The organization became home to some of the nation\u2019s best and brightest aeronautical engineers and world-class facilities, transforming into NASA at the dawn of the Space Age in 1958.<\/p>\n<p>The new video collection highlights some of NACA\u2019s striking historic photography and celebrates this pioneering organization with a brief history of its formation, expansion, and groundbreaking aeronautics research at four centers across the United States \u2014 the current homes of NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/langley\/\">Langley Research Center in Hampton
