Collier Trophy presentation 1929

Description: President Herbert Hoover presents the Collier Trophy to Joseph Ames, chairman of the NACA in 1929. Three years later, as part of his plan to increase efficiency in government, Hoover would sign an executive order to abolish the NACA. However, the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt prevented the implementation of President Hoover's executive and left the NACA intact.
