...Like the oxygen mask, the pressure cabin, electrically heated flight gear and the ejection seat, the purpose of the G-suit is to match the pilot to his high-speed environment. The fact is that the fragile human frame is fast becoming the structural limit to the speed of aircraft. Aircraft designers are already talking of interceptors that will scream through the upper atmosphere at more than 1,500 miles an hour. They are sure that one of their toughest problems will be to beef up the pilot so that he can stand the trip...
Other doctors who have studied the oxygen problem doubt that these results mean anything. Said a St. Louis eyeman last week: "The more we learn about RLF, the less we know...

Dr. Thaddeus S. Szewczyk of East St. Louis (where RLF is rampant although it is rare across the river in St Louis) now reports that he has seen no lasting damage from RLF in premature babies since he started giving them a minimum of oxygen and tapering it off slowly...

They will also attack the problem with a new, semisecret weapon: an ingenious "third lung," designed at Zurich and perfected by Swiss watchmakers.

Heretofore, it has simply been considered impractical or impossible to haul the added burden. The new lightweight (22 Ibs.) Swiss lung, complete with plastic mouthpiece, is worked by the climber's own breath, which releases the precious oxygen...
