[Nutrition of flight personnel]

The subject of this dissertation is the diet of flight personnel. A rapid review of the general question of diet in general and that of flight personnel in particular is given. On this basis, the various aspects of the problem (energy sources, calorie requirements, activity of the individual, etc.) are examined. The conclusion is drawn that no fixed diet can be established. Diet should be adaptable to individual requirements, though it is necessary to follow certain general recommendation for the diet of pilots in general.
