Aviation medicine research reports, 1943-1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39021107

Three research reports issued from Wallace O. Fenn's laboratory at the University of Rochester. The reports investigate the effects on the human body of pressure breathing and the usefulness of hyperventilation for creating a physiological state comparable to that at high altitudes. The research was done for the National Research Council, Division of Medical Sciences, Committee on Aviation Medicine. Wallace O. Fenn, along with Arthur B. Otis and Hermann Rahn, are among the co-authors for each of the three reports.

Physiologist educated at the University of Adelaide, Australia, (M.B.B.S., M.D.) and London University (Ph. D.). West is the author of numerous articles and book-length studies including Ventilation / bloodflow and gas exchange (1965), Respiratory physiology (1974), Pulmonary pathophysiology (1977), and Everest--the testing place (1983). High-altitude physiology and "mountain sickness" have been central themes in West's research. In 1960-1961, he served as the physiologist on Sir Edmund Hillary'...

Hermann Rahn was born in East Lansing, Michigan in 1912, though he spent most of his primary years in Kiel, Germany. His father Otto, a professor of bacteriology, fostered in Rahn a scientific interest in the world around him and Rahn become a keen naturalist. In 1929, Rahn graduated from high school in Ithaca, New York. He earned his bachelor's degree in zoology from Cornell University in 1933 and a PhD from the University of Rochester in 1938.
