THE CONCEPT OF AVIATOR'S VERTIGO
Abstract
An analysis was made of the concept of aviator's vertigo based upon personal interviews with Naval aviators. To clarify the term, factors in the environment and experience of pilots are presented which bear upon the use of the word ''vertigo.'' Types of events associated with ''vertigo'' are described. Suggestions are offered for clarification of the concept of vertigo, and lines of further research indicated.
