Numerous fatal accidents marred the early years of aviation, but not until 1911 was the first accident attributed to inflight incapacitation of the pilot. Two such accidents occurred in 1911 and were reported due to medical causes. Our review of the circumstances surrounding these two accidents lead to different conclusions. We believe them to have been caused by pilot error, and not by medical causes. So the first accident due to inflight incapacitation of the aircrew for medical reasons still remains unknown.
众多致命事故给航空业的早期发展蒙上了阴影，但直到1911年，第一起事故才被归因于飞行员在空中丧失能力。1911年发生了两起此类事故，并因医疗原因被报道。我们对这两起事故相关情况的审查得出了不同结论。我们认为它们是由飞行员失误造成的，而非医疗原因。因此，因医疗原因导致机组人员在空中丧失能力的第一起事故仍然不明。
