The British RAF details its secrets to success. "This is a book full of human interest as well as a scientific psychological study of the airmen themselves. The varied types of work the men have to do, the training they have to undergo so as to minimise the risks they must face, the care and sympathetic consideration given during training, the application of science to ensure that the fullest use is made of each man's special qualifications -- all these find a place in a narrative that is both authoritative and of absorbing interest."--Jacket copy.
