LONDON, Dec. 26. Picked Air Force pilots will shortly indulge in death-defying experiments at Felixstowe to ascertain whether the pilots are rendered unconscious when racing seaplanes make a sharp turn at a speed of three to lour hundred miles an hour. It is known that pilots experience a ‘"blackout” under such circumstances, but the exact physical effect is unknown. The Air Force men will deliberately turn racing craft at higher speeds in order to produce a “blackout,” so that its effect may be studied. The only high speed teamster who has not yet experienced it is FlightLieutenant Stainforth, a GloueesterNapier pilot, who, his comrades say, has a cast iron stomach.
