Description

English describes the development of a uniquely Canadian selection system that attempted to match the aptitudes of aircrew candidates to the duties they would perform and the evolution of the RCAF’s training program from a haphazard system with enormous attrition to one that became the model for lots of up to date systems. He traces the development of aviation psychology and the remedy of psychological casualties of air combat. English will pay particular attention to the LMF controversy and the RCAF’s response in addition to the effect of morale and leadership at the psychological well-being of, and casualty rates among, Royal Air Force and RCAF bomber squadrons. In exploring the human dimension of air warfare, a subject that has been widely lost sight of in military literature, English demonstrates that team of workers considerations have a minimum of as much influence at the effectiveness of air forces as material and technological factors.
