 | Most active duty United States Air Force pilots and flight surgeons serve less than four years with one unit. Segregation policies in early 1941 required a few African American flight surgeons to support black student pilots at Tuskegee, Alabama from cadet training in preflight ground school until graduation with pilot wings; then through fighter training, deployment to the Mediterranean Theater, combat operations, redeployment, peacetime service and disbandment on 1 July ... |

| To assess the effects of unpressurized altitude on visual acuity, refractive error, and corneal stability measures, pre- and post- PRK treatment. Sixteen male and four female subjects volunteered for altitude training and data collection. Two separate unpressurized altitude profiles were undertaken by all subjects; a 12-hour 10,000-ft (10K) and a 20-min 35,000-ft (35K) simulated altitude flights. Baseline ground level visual acuity, refractive error, and corneal stability data were collected prior ... |

|
| The everyday practice and operational applications of U.S. Air Force flight medicine by its flight surgeons at the end of the 20th century comprise a system of medical care and support that is unique in human history. This system of preventive, occupational, clinical and participatory medicine seems so natural that modern aviators and flight surgeons may take it for granted, having little understanding of the manner in which it developed ... |

| This article examines mental health factors in aviation and was written for the operational flight surgeon. It is contained as a chapter in the most recent edition of The Flight Surgeon's Guide. The major goal of this publication is to augment flight surgeon's prior psychiatric training with specific aeromedical applications of mental health principles and practices. A few of the specific objectives include: Elucidating the use of the Adaptability Rating ... |
