Re: How did fighter pilots cope with excretions (urine & excrement) on VLR missions?
My good friend, the late Max W. of 364th FG wrote to me how uncomfortable it was to make a 6 hrs-trip to Berlin with a cold and diarrhea at 30.000ft in a P-38. The relief tube was of no use in this case... His Sqn Doc said something like that "cork your a... and fly".
Those bad physiological 'mood' explained partly why the P-38 performed rather poorly at high altitude.
