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.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aAviation psychology$7Generated by AI 606 $aAeronautics, Military$zUnited States$7Generated by AI 615 0$aAviation psychology 615 0$aAeronautics, Military 676 $a940.54497300000003 700 $aCarroll$b Major James J$01375384 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163179603321 996 $aPhysiological Problems Of Bomber Crews In The Eighth Air Force During WWII$93409752 997 $aUNINA
