Supply of Oxygen for High Altitude Flying

Abstract

This report first discusses the methods available for supplying oxygen to aviators flying at high altitudes. The various oxygen sources and apparatus employing them are described, the advantages and disadvantages of each being stressed. Next, the means by which a carrier or tender can supply the oxygen to ship-based planes are discussed. The general conclusion arrived at is that owing to the lack of essential data and to the rapidity of advances of Naval aviation, no clear cut decision can be made at present as to the best oxygen methods for naval use.
