Abstract:
From 1929-1957, Harry Armstrong, M.D., rose from first lieutenant in the U.S. Army to the rank of major general in the U.S. Air Force. He founded the aeromedical research laboratory at Wright Field, Dayton, OH, founded the Central Medical Establishment, England, became command flight surgeon, U.S. 8th Air Force, England, and founded the Department of Space Medicine (1947), Randolph Field, TX, and served as Surgeon General, USAF (1949-54). Armstrong worked throughout his career on the most advanced aeromedical problems and personally directed breakthrough programs for which he received the highest national and international awards. Applying Armstrong-like projections, one can forecast faster, larger aircraft for the coming decades as well as 21st century habitations on the moon and Mars.
