A Bibliography of Aviation Medicine

The fact that it is possible to compile a list of 6,029 entries pertinent to such a new subject as Aviation Medicine reflects clearly the manner in which the problems presented to medical science by the demands of aviation cut across almost all lines of medical and biological science. The forces of destruction have, of course, but accentuated the need for an understanding of those problems of medical nature developing out of peace-time aviation, and the diversity of the problems is very great. Thus it is, that this bibliography is not only of major interest to those associated with aviation, but to those whose primary objective is an understanding of sciences quite remote from aviation, as, for example, the bacteriologist and the hygienist. To all of these specialists the bibliography offers a reference tool, to those interested more specifically in aviation medicine it is an essential volume indicating source material. -GEO. H. SMITH
