Each folder contains information on a significant figure in the annals of American aviation. Materials for each individual usually include several versions of a short biography, one or more photographs and may include negatives of those images. Some photographs that would be expected to be found within this series may be found,
by reason of their size, in Series III.
For reasons that are unclear, several distinguished personalities of the age of early flight have been omitted for biography by Morehouse, including Glenn Curtiss and the Wright Brothers.
In December 2017, the Museum's Aeronautics Department transferred an additional set of biographies to the NASM Archives. This set follows this series as Series 1.2.
