Outlined are the DOD and VA from 1952 covering up acts on SEVENTY SEVEN (77) servicemen. These flight line personnel were identified by name and Air Force Serial Number to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for treatment; LIST ATTACHED. They were subjected to the without protection THEN KNOWN certain injury of an at least flight line 87,381 sound pressure multiple (X) to a "warm-up crew" level of over 699,051 X vs. the disobeyed required 1948 protection at a maximum of 59 X! Despite the since 1991 many letters to Congress, there has been no VA response on the 76 others. Given a past 50 years of not corrected performance, do not the 1994 U.S. Senate Rockefeller Report "IS MILITARY RESEARCH HAZARDOUS TO VETERANS' HEALTH? LESSONS SPANNING HALF A CENTURY" violations continue?
The 1948 Air Force Regulation (AFR) 160-3 "Precautionary Measures Against Noise Hazards" ordered that, "In this 1948 Medical Services regulation, overall exposures were never to exceed 95 dBA and were recommended to be kept below 85 dBA
." The 1948 "Noise Hazards" is a follow-on to the World War II V-51R provided hearing protection for anyone working in 90 dB or greater noise levels. The American Medical Association (AMA) "Sound and noise levels" table states that "sound pressure doubles with an increase of 6 decibels"; 3d Edition Family Medical Guide, page 365. In 1952 the USAF Project 7210 recorded the noise levels for all jet-engines then in use and published them as WADC TECHNICAL REPORT 54-401 (logged in as the 401st report for 1954) in JULY 1956. On 26 February 1953 was the Department Of Defense (DOD) Secretary's NO non-consensual, human experiment¢s Top Secret Memo. It was UNCLASSIFIED on 22 August 1975. On 1 December 1953 the DOD published the BENOX REPORT with its prior 62 "noise" References! The AMA table in conjunction with the requirements of the 1948 AFR 160-3, the DOD 1953 order with the prior References, the in USAF Project 7210 and this veteran¢s retained 1952 to 1956 USAF service records underlie the issue.
"Had some trouble with hearing while working on warm-up crew for F-86 D with very high noise levels." The physician¢s statement in the veteran¢s 29 Jan 54 USAF Cadet Wing Commander washout exam. The F-86 D, GE J47 jet-engine operating range was the 1952 known Project 7210 "very high noise levels" of an at 50 foot radius, from 158 dB to 176 dB "noise levels"
! Starting from the AMA¢s 60 dB "Normal conversation" level, this is a "sound pressure doubles with an increase of 6 decibels" of an unprotected 1952 to 1956 then known certain injury of a well within 50 foot radius "warm-up crew" of over 699,051 X!
On 5/7/57 VA Boston Regional Office requested and then stamped as 6/3/57 received the veterans 6/25/52 to 5/21/56 service record. This was followed by the VA, Boston, MA, Regional Office (RO) Rating Board¢s 7/9/57 awarded hearing loss only ERROR. This is proven by their 7/9/57 Rating Board¢s attending physician¢s evidence resultant USAF SURGEON¢S 6/25/58, "PERMANENTLY MEDICALLY DISQUALIFIED FOR MILITARY SERVICE"! Despite repeated requests there has been no VA response to the "permanently medically disqualified". Then its ¡must of been a mistake¢ and very effective symptoms of Menieres Disease hiding six (6) months later 1/22/59 "HONORABLE DISCHARGE" WITH "RECOMMENDED FOR REENLISTMENT - YES". In 1965 VA medical personnel noted the veteran¢s, "History - Exposure to jet noise and decompression concussion".
"THE VETERANS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MENIERES DISEASE CLEARLY ARE DOCUMENTED IN HIS SERVICE RECORD" with the results of "A STRESS REACTION MAY PRECIPIRATE AN EPISODE OF SYMPTOMS (OF MENIERE¢S DISEASE), AND CYCLES MAY REPEAT ENDLESSLY". This is the VA Chief of Otolaryngology¢s 9/15/99 statement regarding the since 1861 medically known disease. Acting on HMO physician "episode" advice the veteran returned to the VA in 1991. A 4 April 2008 BVA letter records a from 1952 lost evidence, "We are writing to you about your appeal pending before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA or Board). According to our records, your claim file was received at the Board on January 28, 2006. However, despite extensive search efforts, we are currently unable to locate your file."
