I never heard of anyone who had to have the seats modified. I couldn't wear the fleece lined jacket because it was too bulky, I just wore a thin flying jacket over coveralls.I never saw an electriclly heated flying suit.
The cold was pretty bad at altitude -50 to -60F, in the target vicinity, I would be sweating, condensation from my oxygen mask would leave about an inch of ice on my chest, and from the top of my thighs to the tip of my toes I was completely numb. One had to be young to fly missions, I had an old man of 33 who was a misfit.
To answer your question. When I enlisted I knew that I would have a job to do, I did it, simple !! |
By the necessity for seat modification, I meant in reference to large male genitalia metaphor that is used to symbolize people with courage and audacity beyond those of normal males. -60F, man that's insane!
