Extract

In a recent issue of Nature Sir Charles Goodeve gave an illuminating account of the value of operational research in war and described how, in peacetime, similar methods were being applied to problems of rail and road traffic. It is significant that he was unable to give examples of similar investigations into the flow of air traffic.
