From Note on page 2: "Provides information concerning the more important properties of aviation fuel, and covers in particular those properties which are of most interest to the user of the fuel. This booklet was first issued during the latter part of World War II and was produced on contract at the joint request of the U.S.A.A.F. and Bureau of Aeronautics, U. S. Navy. The first issue is out of print and this edition has therefore been revised and amplified to include discussion of turbine (jet) fuels."
