Under the waves, above the clouds: A history of the pressure suit.
Technische Universität Darmstadt
Dissertation, Erstveröffentlichung
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
This publication describes the development of so-called “pressure suits” in the 1930s in Europe from a scientific, technical, cultural and political perspective. It is detailed that those suits first and foremost were devised to achieve altitude records in aviation and not for their military value, although the majority of the suits that were developed had the air forces involved. This work outlines the manifold entanglements between private sector, military and science, which was a prerequisite not only for the development of pressure suits, but also for pressure cabins, breathing equipment and other protective garment. The close relation between diving medicine and aviation medical research is exposed in this context.
