Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Slot-Lip Aileron and Slotted Flap for Dive Brakes
From Introduction: "As a part of this investigation, a study is being made of test results obtained during the development of devices designed primarily for other purposes, such as high lift or lateral control, but which may also be used for dive control. These results have been reanalyzed and are herein presented in a form that should make them convenient for design purposes."

Tail-load measurements on the XB-15 bomber in gusty air
Report presenting some statistical measurements of the accelerations encountered in gusty air over a period of years in order to determine the loads to which airplanes may be subjected. The statistical measurements have been evaluated to yield either effective or true gust velocities as applied to the wings of airplanes.
