High points in aerospace physiology: a USAF perspective, Part II.

摘要

This is the second part of the series that documents the high points of Aerospace Physiology history. The first installment (ASEM 2010; 81(5):535) took us from the beginning of flight and the U.S. War Department issuing Special Order No. 243 to the Army Surgeon General Major Theodore Lyster, M.D., which instructed him to "...take whatever steps needed to establish the practice of aviation medicine." Dr. Lyster established a lab which evolved into SAM (School of Aerospace Medicine) and tracked flight training from New York to Texas.
