Old airport facility directory

Looking for an old Airport Facility Directory (AF/D) and associated Aeronautical Sectional Chart from 1966 for the Houston Area. Seems like it is difficult to find a digitized version from the Archives or the FAA.

Dear Mr. Hamons,

Thank you for posting your question to History Hub. The Cartographic holdings at the National Archives facility in College Park, MD include several series that may contain relevant information:

Sectional Aeronautical Charts, 1933 - 2011 includes charts for Houston. Flight Information Publications (FLIP), 1958 - 2010 includes Airport Facility Directories (although it is unclear from the catalog description whether there are any for Houston specifically). You can contact the Cartographic division’s reference staff at carto@nara.gov for more information on accessing these records.

Best of luck with your research!
