Air Force Veterans and Mesothelioma

Members of all military branches may come in contact with military aircraft. This is especially the case for members of the Air Force, whose work revolves around air operations. Air Force positions and occupations involving aircraft include:

• Aerial gunners
• Aerospace ground equipment maintenance personnel
• Aerospace maintenance crew members
• Aerospace propulsion specialists
• Air battle managers
• Air transportation personnel
• Airborne operations crews
• Aircraft maintenance officers
• Aircraft structural maintenance personnel
• Munitions systems specialists

Whether members of the Air Force serve during wartime or peacetime, those who work directly with aircraft have often been exposed to asbestos-containing materials and components. Gaskets, valves, heat shields and insulation are often made of or coated with asbestos. Aircraft brake linings often contain asbestos, putting aircraft mechanics particularly at risk.
