HELP PLEASE!!! KOREAN WAR ERA AVIATORS! Need an expert on cabin pressures and noise levels for this era of jet planes. What were the pressure systems? What were the noise levels? My father was a fighter jet pilot in the Air Force during the Korean War. On his entry exam it showed a "Sear, left tympanic membrane" or in laymen's terms "an ear problem", and a scar from breaking his nose, but was still cleared to fly. He was giving 10% disability status after his service, but unsuccessfully fought for addition help. After being denied in 1957, he tried to reopen it in 1987, but had his papers messed up and lost in the system, eventually dying in 1996. My mother has a review of the disability claim this Friday and I'm trying to help her. He received a number of injections in his ear drums while in service and was continually put back in the air, and claimed to have had his sinuses seize up well flying at high altitude - experiencing headaches and severe nose bleeds that eventually led to his diminished health and death. Anyone heard of similar cases / experiences or with info on these planes would be of great assistance. Thank You!
