AIRPLANE BENDS
COMPLETE PREVENTATIVE CLAIMED IMPORTANCE IN WAR OPERATIONS. DISCOVERY BY MAYO CLINIC. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) COLUMBUS (Ohio), December 28. The Mayo Clinic has announced the discovery of a complete preventative for airplane bends, a disease which attacks interceptor plane pilots, due to the speedier drop of outside airpressure than of internal pressure during a rapid rise to thirty thousand foot altitudes. It is believed it will have an important value on the Western Front and North Sea air operations, permitting closer approaches at great heights before detection.
