This. is a book for pilots, not doctors. It discusses in clear, lucid language how, for example, many accidents have been caused by disorientation, why one blacks out with positive g'. why one is unlikely to remain conscious for more than three minutes if oxygen fails at 25.000ft..ln the event of an emergency landing. a knowledge of Aeromedicineis a tremendous aid to survival. Then again, the potentially fatal risks of Decompression Sickness after landing form yet another reason why this book should prove highly valuable to the pilot . . ..

Aerornedicine for Aviators is the sort of book many pilots have been waiting for; it will be useful not only to the amateur and professional pilot, but also as an auxiliary textbook for the flying cadet.
