Three different high altitude suits were designed and tested for Wiley Post. The report contains a photograph of each of these three suits. Two low pressure chamber tests were conducted using the final suit. These represent the first United States tests of a human subject in a high altitude pressure suit at low barometric pressures. Post employed his suit on at least ten and possibly 17 flights and used liquid oxygen on all such flights.
