BERNARD, Le Progres Medical, May 11, 1918. Racial aptitude plays a factor, especially in regard to habits of sportsmanship. Analogously, the cavalry is more likely to furnish candidates than the infantry and, till re cently, Germany has drawn almost entirely on the former. Good aviators are always bad sailors, on account of the de velopment of the sense of equilibrium. The best age is from 18 to 30. Weight and height are of little importance but the height should not be less than 1.55 (about 62 inches) or the aviator will have difficulty in looking over the sides of his cradle. Deformities and surgical lesions are of indirect im portance, as in affording a subsequent pretext for leaving the air service, in interfering with the solidity of the abdominal wall since the displacement, of the viscera in a sudden man oeuvre leads to syncope or lypothymia. Thoracic lesions are of importance mainly as they interfere with respiration as the oxygen is diminished by half at 5000-6000 meters. Anyone who cannot hold the breath at full inspiration for 45 seconds after full exhalation is unfit and most good aviators can hold the breath for a minute without discomfort. Injuries to the head are also likely to be significant, though not necessarily, by indicating cerebral change such as to cause slowness of perception, rapid fatigue, exaggerated emotional state, or sensibility to changes in atmospheric pressure. So far as the limbs are concerned, it must be remembered that almost all motions of the aviator require the action of the arms and hands above the shoulders. Amputation of the leg may not interfere with the functions of the pilot as an artificial limb can be attached to the pedal. Limitation of ankle movements leads to assignment to a hydroplane or aeroplane less rapid than a chaser. Subjects who have had infantile paralysis arc barred because they are predisposed to trophic troubles ex cited by cold. Excessive use of tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs bars from the service but teetotalism is not insisted on by all though none allow tobacco or alcohol immediately before flights. Syphilis and malaria, properly treated, do not bar from ser vice. Epilepsy, tuberculosis, bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, do. Seasickness does not bar (nausea from test movements in the Barany chair being rather considered as an index of delicacy of the sense of equilibrium) as it is rarely encountered during flights though some pilots vomit after landing. Sugar and albumin in the urine are positive disqualifications. All forms of cardiac disease and functional disturbance disqualify as do even conditions of unstable vascular equilibrium, Ray naud's disease for instance predisposing to frost bite. Nervous instability as indicated by exaggerated knee jerk, tremors, insomnia and agitation must be carefully excluded, there being a special malady known as aeronurosis. Vision should be perfect, without lenses, as the latter may be broken or clouded.
