AN ANTHROPOMETRIC SURVEY OF 2,000 ROYAL AIR FORCE AIRCREW 1970-71 BY C.B. BOLTON, M. KENWARD, R.E. SIMPSON, AND G.M. TURNER, RAF/ROYAL AIRCRAFT ESTABLISHMENT TECHNICAL REPORT 73083, SEPTEMBER 1973. PUNCHED DATA SUPPLIED BY RAF(C.B. BOLTON) TO AMRL IN 1975. DATA EDITED AT WEBB ASSOCIATES(1975) AND MINOR CHANGES MADE. THE DATA INCLUDES 71 ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS PLUS AGE ON 1028 PILOTS, 613 NAVIGATORS, AND 359 OTHER FLIGHT DECK AIRCREW. AGE IS RECORDED IN YEARS PLUS 0.5. SKINFOLDS WERE TAKEN USING A HARPENDEN CALIPER AND ARE REPORTED IN TENTHS OF MILLIMETERS, WEIGHT IN KILOGRAMS, AND ALL OTHER VALUES IN MILLIMETERS. SUBJECT NUMBERS RANGE FROM 1-2013 EXCLUDING 11, 16, 23, 28, 33, 48, 55, 336, 1084, 1302, 1715, 1863, AND 1996. X(2)-X(5), VERTICAL FUNCTIONAL REACH SITTING, THIGH CLEARANCE, ELBOW FUNCTIONAL REACH, AND STOMACH DEPTH SITTING WERE NOT MEASURED ON THE FIRST 1412 SUBJECTS AND X(2) AND X(4) ARE ALSO MISSING FOR SUBJECT 1605. X(21), X(32), X(35), AND X(36), WAIST HEIGHT, WAIST CIRC, WAIST-WAIST/OVER SHOULDER AND CROTCH LENGTH WERE ONLY MEASURED ON THE FIRST 1662 SUBJECTS WHILE X(69)-X(72), WAIST HT II, WAIST CIRC II, WAIST-WAIST II, AND CROTCH LENGTH II WERE MEASURED ONLY ON THE REMAINING 338 SUBJECTS EXCEPT X(71) AND X(72) WHICH ARE MISSING FOR SUBJECT 1735. X(1), AGE, HAS AN N OF 1903, MINIMUM N OTHERWISE IS 1993.
