How did fighter pilots cope with excretions (urine & excrement) on VLR missions?
as in A6Ms on escort mission from Formosa to the Philippines, or P51s from Iwo Jima to Japan. Can not have been fun sitting for hours with a wet bottom in a freezing cockpit.
As an aside, on hikes in the Himalayas we were told to drink a lot at altitude to compensate or increased evaporation. Did this also apply to high altitude missions in unpressurized cockpits, thus increasing the urgency of coping with excretions? TIA, Richard
