The crash injury evaluation of the U. S. Army AC-1 DH 'Caribou' disclosed several desirable crash safety features including a limit landing gear strength which permits a vertical rate of descent of 14 feet per second; the location of the fuel cells outboard of the engine nacelles; troop seat belt anchorages which are directly secured to basic aircraft structure. Attention is invited to the remedial action suggested in the recommendations pertaining to these deficiencies. (Author)
