Carroll, examines the physiological challenges faced by bomber crews in the Eighth Air Force during World War II. It focuses on the high accident rates experienced by these crews and the potential oversight by the U.S. Army Air Corps leadership regarding human factors in flight. The work discusses the development of Air War Planning Document-1 (AWPD-1) and the role of aviation physiologists. It aims to determine whether human limitations were neglected and how these issues were addressed. The book is intended for readers interested in military history, aviation, and the human factors affecting aircrew performance during wartime.Generated by AI.Aviation psychologyGenerated by AIAeronautics, MilitaryUnited StatesGenerated by AIAviation psychologyAeronautics, Military940.54497300000003Carroll Major James J1375384MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163179603321Physiological Problems Of Bomber Crews In The Eighth Air Force During WWII3409752UNINA
