DOMINGUEZ VIAS, Germán. Dive Bomber (1941): a study model of aviation physiology. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.4, pp.261-277.  Epub Jan 11, 2021. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc2020164261277.

This article serves to begin in the teaching bases of the current aviation physiology, whose origin dates back to the beginning of World War II. Dive Bomber (1941) by Michael Curtiz is an excellent teaching material to help in the understanding of the different causes of the pilots' syncope at heights, allowing thinking and the search for solutions or alternatives through experiments that allow the recovery of the body homeostasis. His audiovisual material shares real scenes of the United States Army that allow access to these discoveries and the progress of the current state of modern aerospace physiology.

Keywords : altitude; hypobaric hypoxia; syncope; aviation.
