Abstract
Results of the analysis of morphological status of cadets and pilots of the Croatian Air Force are presented, in relation to the morphological status of a sample of conscripts of the Croatian Army. The results of the morphological status of body built of the flier potential of the Croatian Air Force, i.e., the potential (cadets) and active fliers (pilots), suggest a process of spontaneous (or possibly systematic) selection of flier candidates based on anthropometric criteria. Based on the obtained anthropometric data, it may be concluded that persons who choose to candidate for and are selected to join the Croatian Air Force as pilots, are of specific personal appearance and body built.
