http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/231692069

This collection consists of the personal papers of the Davison Family. The bulk of this collection focuses on the family's work during the First World War. The collection includes three letters, all of which pertaining to aviation. In one of the letters, the author's name in indiscernible, but in it he discusses engineers and mechanics. Another is written by the Secretary of the Navy to F. Trubee Davison in reference to the First Yale Unit which he established at the beginning of the First World War. The final letter is from Henry Woodhouse, the recipient of the first letter, to Mrs. Davison regarding the written history of the First Yale Unit. The collection also includes two newspaper clippings. One clipping notes the promotion of Ralph Paine who wrote the history of the First Yale Unit. The other clipping is a notice of the death of Henry Pomeroy Davison, Jr. The remainder of the collection is made up of two documents. The first is a brochure from the spring meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The second is a compliment card from Mrs. Davison.
