is
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. r(U. P.)
Naval aviation is more hazardous than
nny other branch of service with the
fighting fleets, the surgeon general of
the navy stated in his annual report
today.
The mortality rate for officers land
men who took part in one or more
flights for the fiscal year ended June
30, was 10.68 per 1000, the report
stated. This represents 39 dead out
of the 3050 officers and men who es
sayed one or more flights.
The death rate of the navy, includ
ing all causes, was 4.7S per 1000. Th s
compares with 7.10 per 1000 for 1920
and an nverage rate of 6.20 for the
past 10 years.
. Disease was responsible for 3S2 of
the 712 deaths for the fiscal year.
Three hundred and ten men died from
injuries; this category includes 109
deaths from drowning.
The greatest individual tragedy of
the year for the navy was the destruc
tion of tho ZR-2, giant wirship, over
Hull, England, with the death of IS
American officers and men. .
