Medical Soldiers
Take Tests 10
Protect Pilots
Volunteer Enlisted Subject,
Keep High Altitude
FIiers Safe. Healthy

The history Of the United States
Army Medical Corps is filled with
records bearing witness to the
physical and moral courage OF its
soldiers. A new generation OF
medical soldiers Is now In uniform.
Pioneering in a new field, high
altitude (sub-stratosphere and
|stratopshere) United States Army
fiiers ran into new environment
and physical disorders caused by
the extreme cold and lack OF
oxygen found in the rarefied at
mosphere Of extreme heights.
1t remained to a new form OF
army doctor. the fight surgeon, to
find ways and means of making
the stratosphere safe for American
pilots, from the standpoint of
health protection and life-protect-
ing mechanical aids. A new type
of enlisted man was called upon
to act as a medical subject-a
high-fying medical subject.
Endure Conditions PH
The scientifically trained per-
sonnet of the Aero Medical Unit at
Wright Field, with enlisted men
as the objects Of their expert
ments, have found ways and means
of protecting the health and life Of
United States Army pilots who fly
miles above the earth AS planes
are built to 60 higher, medical
soldiers and officers enter a steel
pressure chamber and endure the
simulated conditions of the high
attitudes and thus bear the brunt
of the physical discomforts that an
unknown altitude invariably pre-
Sents.
BY an odd coincidence, the first
soldier volunteer medical subject
of the nineteenth century was a
private from Ohio and the first Of
the twentieth century was also a
private from Ohio, Pvt. Raymond
Whitney. This courageous soldier
received the Distinguished Flying
Cross in September, 1910, for his
work as an experimental subject
in carrying out medical research
studies for high altitude flight in
volving a degree of personal risk
well beyond the normal call of
duty.
