| Abstract | The medical records of airmen involved in midair collisions from 1970 through 1973 were reviewed and compared with two other groups of pilots: (1) pilots involved in other types of accidents and (2) pilots without any accident records. There is nothing in the results to indicate that the pilots with visual corrections are a greater risk. |
