Sommario/riassunto |
|
Previc, a human factors specialist who formerly led the Air Force's Spatial Disorientation Countermeasures Task Group, and Ercoline (disorientation countermeasures, the Air Force's School of Aerospace Medicine) collect information on spatial disorientation in flight. The book describes the movements |
