THE 1959 ANTHROPOMETRIC SURVEY OF ARMY AVIATORS WAS CONDUCTED IN OCTOBER OF 1959 AT THREE U.S. ARMY BASES ON A SAMPLE OF 500 RATED U.S. ARMY AVIATORS.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EACH MEASUREMENT AND SUMMARY STATISTICS, AS WELL AS A SELECTION OF BIVARIATE FREQUENCY TABLES. THE PUNCHED CARDS WERE FURNISHED BY MR. WHITE AND THE DATA RE-EDITED BY THE ANTHROPOLOGY RESEARCH PROJECT. DATA FOR THE 45 ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES PLUS AGE REPORTED HERE ARE COMPLETE. AGE, X(1), TO WHICH 0.5 YEARS HAS BEEN ADDED, IS REPORTED IN TENTHS OF YEARS, AND WEIGHT, X(2), IS REPORTED IN POUNDS. ALL OTHER VARIABLES, X(3)-X(46), ARE IN MILLIMETERS, EXCEPT PERCENT FAT, X(23).
