[Correspondence Between North American Aviation, Inc. of Kansas and the Army Air Force Material Command]

Correspondence between North American Aviation, Inc. of Kansas and the Army Air Force Material Command discussing the creation of a device to aid female pilots in relieving themselves mid-flight. Both letters are written in a comical rhyming scheme with several euphemistic references to bathroom activities. The pages come with one half of a manila folder that has, "Byrd Granger's documentation of militarization", written on it in pen.
