How did the USAAF chill the Whisky in WWII, where there was no ice? In the warm countries like Sicilia, Italy, Southern France or Pacific. They loaded the Whisky in a C-47, B-17 or B-24 and flew two hours at an altitude of 7`600m at about -50 degrees, so you cooled the Whisky and after landing had cool whisky. A quote from M. Schreier who worked at Edwards Air Force Base and visited the B-17 Museum Utzenstorf with his family on October 1, 2022. It was a very exciting afternoon with many anecdotes about the time he worked at Edwards Air Force Base. Thank you very much for visiting us.
