    6. In Appendix 5 are presented certain comparative data, with illustration, showing the important differences in bodily proportions between the average male and female figure, for the guidance of designers working from an already accepted pattern for a man's garment to produce a women's garment.
    7. In Appendices 6 and 7, are presented the correlations of stature and bust and of hip and bust, for women pilots and flying nurses separately, to show certain differences in types of build encountered in the two groups.

C.  Conclusions:
    1. Data are available for proper sizing and size procurement of clothing for women pilots and flying nurses. 
    2. The differences in average body size between women pilots and flying nurses necessitates different procurement ratios for the two groups.

D.  Recommendations:
    1. None.
