[483] Especially for the early years of the NACA, reliable information on its staff is hard to come by. The Committee prided itself on identifying and rewarding highly competent people, but it also insisted on teamwork and on individual willingness to sacrifice for the good of the organization. George Lewis distrusted and eschewed organization charts, which he thought would fragment the staff and impede free exchange of ideas and information across organizational and disciplinary boundaries. As a result, no comprehensive picture of the NACA personnel structure is extant. The following tables contain what fundamental information is available.

Table D-1 gives total numbers of permanent NACA employees, in headquarters and field categories. For the years 1915-1920 and 1922-1923, these figures are from unpublished NACA sources. Figures for all other years appear in The Budget of the United States. Total and average salaries are shown for each year.

Table D-2 lists key positions in the NACA between 1938 and 1958. For each laboratory and station, the key positions in effect at the end of the NACA's life are listed first, giving the various titles of the position and its incumbents. Following these are lists of positions in existence after 1938 but discontinued before 1958. Data in this table come from the annual Official Register of the United States, for the years 1938-1958. This source has the advantage of publishing information the NACA seems never to have compiled for itself, but unfortunately did not provide organization charts and was not published before 1937. This table is something of a Who's Who within the NACA, but it does not necessarily include all important members of the staff; for example, Robert T. Jones and Richard T. Whitcomb are conspicuous by their absence.

The accompanying hypothetical organization charts for the years 1918, 1928, 1938, 1948, and 1958 represent in most instances the author's guess at how organization charts would have looked had the NACA undertaken to prepare them in August of those years.
