Studies of bird hazards to aircraft .: R65-8/14E-PDF
"Birds and aircraft have collided, with damage to both, since the early days of aviation. The first recorded human death resulting from a bird-aircraft collision occurred in 1910. As aircraft became more numerous and their speeds increased, damage became more serious and costly. The first serious turbine engine crash caused by birds occurred in 1960 and took more than 60 human lives. Since then, bird aircraft collisions in the United States have caused about 100 deaths. In Canada, no lives have been lost, but 10 military aircraft have crashed, and a number of commercial aircraft have been damaged"--Perspective, p. 5.
