Dr. Wilbur Franks: Developing the G-Suit

Canadian War Museum

Dr. Frederick Banting, best known as the Nobel-prize-winning inventor of insulin, assembled a group of doctors before the Second World War, and they turned their attention to aviation medicine. In 1941, Dr. Wilbur Franks, one of those researchers at the Banting Institute, developed a flying suit reinforced with fluid channels to help pilots withstand the extreme G (gravitational) forces exerted on their bodies during air combat. When performing high-speed manoeuvres, pilots tended to lose
