Christian J. Lambertsen, OSS officer who created early scuba device, dies at 93
Christian J. Lambertsen, who as a medical student in 1939 invented a revolutionary underwater breathing system used by the military in World War II and who later helped coin the popular acronym to describe his device and others like it - scuba - died of renal failure Feb. 11 at his home in Newtown Square, Pa. He was 93.
yes, the LARU was the first rebreather system on o2, I think thats what the navy seals used for mines. A sea hunt episode has a guy using a laru of some sort.
We are at the end of the WWII survivors, I wish I would of known he was alive, it would of been nice to meet him.
