  • Jacob Jongbloed (1895-1974): a Dutch pioneer of Aviation Medicine.
    Aviation space and environmental medicine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Alexander Von Lünen
    Abstract:

    Jacob Jongbloed (nick-named "Janus") was a Dutch Aviation physiologist and avid aviator. While lack of funding hindered his work tremendously, he nonetheless became an important figure in aeromedical research between World War I and II, chiefly in the field of the effects of acceleration on the human organism. Most of his work was published in Dutch and German journals, rendering him an unknown force in the English-speaking world. Only after World War II did he make a name for himself in Anglo-American circles, primarily due to his involvement in various international organizations dealing with aeromedical matters and his part in developing the first Dutch heart-lung machine. Due to his many posts and his scientific work in the field, he could be regarded as the "father" of Dutch Aviation Medicine.

  • Aviation Medicine in the United Kingdom: cold war and peace dividend, 1946-2000.
    Aviation space and environmental medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: T. Michael Gibson, Michael H. Harrison
    Abstract:

    This is the third of three brief papers that summarize the history of Aviation Medicine in the Royal Air Force. Unusually, at the end of the Second World War, British Aviation Medicine research did not enter a period of decline. The needs of the Royal Air Force during the Cold War ensured the continuing development of the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine. However, reduction of the threat with the end of the Cold War led to the requirement for a peace dividend. British Aviation Medicine research has now entered a commercial era, competing for funding from industry as well as from the Royal Air Force.

  • Aviation Medicine in the United Kingdom : From the end of world war I to the end of world war II, 1919-1945
    Aviation space and environmental medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: T. Michael Gibson, Michael H. Harrison
    Abstract:

    This is the second of three brief papers that summarize the history of Aviation Medicine in the Royal Air Force. British Aviation Medicine research was rescued from the doldrums of retrenchment after the end of the First World War by the need to support attempts on world records for height and speed. Despite this, the outbreak of the Second World War still found the British inadequately prepared. This part of the account of British Aviation Medicine research charts its transition from an organization with three full-time workers into a thriving research institute.

  • Aviation Medicine in the United Kingdom: early years, 1911-1918.
    Aviation space and environmental medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: T. Michael Gibson, Michael H. Harrison
    Abstract:

    This is the first of three brief papers that summarize the history of Aviation Medicine in the Royal Air Force. Just as the generals and politicians were slow to appreciate the potential of the airplane, so the medical establishment was slow in understanding that the flight environment involved medical and physiological challenges. This note outlines the development of research to support British military aviators up to the formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918.

  • Aviation Medicine and the airline passenger
    Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2002
    Co-Authors: R L Maynard
    Abstract:

    Books on Aviation Medicine and physiology tend to be written by specialists for specialists. This book is by specialists for generalists and will be of value to all doctors asked by patients for health advice prior to flying. It will also be useful, in advance it is hoped, to doctors asked to help with a patient on board a commercial flight. A distinguished group of authors has been assembled: some from the Aviation Medicine field and some from other relevant specialties including obstetrics, paediatrics, cardiology, and respiratory Medicine.
