Man, you haven't pee'd till you've pee'd into one of those funny looking
red plastic pee containers at 30 thousand in an unpressurized cockpit on
the way to a show site.
I wondered how the fighter pilots managed that sort of thing.
The author of "Wing Ding"--a rascal of a gentleman who was a B-17
tailgunner--told me the first time he saw a FW-190 he was suffering from
severe gas cramps and trying to take a dump in his flak helmet--armor, mae
west, flying suit, bunny suit, uniform, long johns, all down-- and trying
not to touch bare skin to metal.
Apparently it had an amazing laxative effect.
