When one ponders a century of air travel, it is fairly straightforward to research accident statistics and determine the numbers of souls lost in aviation accidents.
But a fair evaluation of the value of aviation today must include the numbers of lives saved through emergency rescue, medical evac, mercy transportation of third world patients to proper hospitals, etc.
Any comparative studies that we're aware of?
