Aviation medicine men from all over the United States inspected the new "jiffy suit" at Carswell Air Base shown here modeled by Corporal Kenneth L. Johnson, altitude chamber technician photographed inside the chamber at Carswell just before an demonstration as part of a two-day "aircrew effectiveness" conference here.
