Tuesday 14th February – Evening Lecture
‘A Brief History of Flying Clothing’
By Dr Graham Rood
The long history of flying clothing has always been characterised by the race to keep aircrew safe from the rapidly increasing performance of the military aeroplane.
This lecture starts with the earliest days, when height and speed were not particularly relevant, through the WW2 requirements for high speed, high altitude and high ‘g’, to the most recent developments in Nuclear, Biological and Chemical protective clothing.
