My friend KEN ART, WE WERE NOT TOLD WHAT TO EAT, BUT ADVISED TO EAT LIGHTLY AND STAY AWAY FROM GASEY FOODS. USUALLY WE HAD POWDERED EGGS, BACON, TOAST AND COFFEE. THERE WERE TIMES THAT ONE REALLY DIDN"T FEEL MUCH LIKE EATING WHEN FACING THE UNKNOWN AND YOUR STOMACH WAS TIED IN A KNOT. I DON"T KNOW IF THE GUYS THAT FLEW IN THE PRESSURIZED B-29S HAD THESE PROBLEMS OR NOT. KEN

I know that regardless of the plane I was flying, I would not have been able to eat. I know how I deal with pressure, and eating before a bombing run would not have been on my high priority list. If I think I know now about knots in the intestinal track...
