IN 1954 when two Comet 1 aircraft were lost in unusual circumstances, an intensive study of possible causes was made and everything pointed to there having been explosive decompression of the cabins of both aircraft. Research into metal fatigue was given a much higher priority and the official requirements for the design of such cabins were tightened up. It was hoped that there would be no repetition of such disasters.
