I read, in a couple of sources, that pilots (At least, French pilots) would drink milk and brandy with a raw egg in it. This was a usual breakfast for some of them who went up on morning patrol. And, they did drink! BOY, did they drink! Now, someone on here told me that whiskey wasn't so readily available Over There...that brandy and cognac was (were?) far more available. I'm sure those guys had their families send them whisky, though.
From what I've read, it seems the French did eat better than the British. There were times when vittles were harder to come by than other times.
This is an interesting question, Willi. Especially, since I'm most interested in the "day-in-the-life" aspect of pilots.
