We describe infrared photometry and spectroscopy of Nova Aquilae 1982. The broadband observations suggest that the dust shell of Nova Aquilae was anomalous, while the spectroscopic observations point to the presence of molecules in the nova environment.

Nova Aquilae was discovered (Honda 1982) on 1982 January 27th. The visual light curve, based on visual estimates (IAU circulars), IUE FES counts (derived assuming (B-V) = 0) and photometry at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAA0), suggest a fast nova with visual decay rate mv = 0.3 mag d-1. Spectral development and outburst amplitude suggest that the nova was discovered at maximum.
