A good friend was a former C47 "Hump" radioman.
Most of his interesting tales concerned women, food and what the C47
pilots did with P38s, back in India, when they got the chance.
My BIL was a tailgunner in a Sunderland during the Malaya insurection
and told similiar tales.
Are all military pilots crazy, or just the tales told by / about them?
