In a previous article, Cub Driver said:
and that AVG recruiters told potential
volunteers that Japanese pilots were no good and all wore corrective
glasses.

That was Pappy Boyington talking, but it's hard to know at any given
moment if Boyington was remembering reality or dreaming in an
alcoholic haze. (I think that "corrective glasses" or maybe "lenses"
actually appears in Boyington's account.)

I'm almost sure I saw training material from that era showing the tail
gunner in Betty bombers wearing huge glasses.
