Preparing planes for missions always included ordnance, but sometimes would require extra fuel tanks to be loaded up
Description
An account of the resource
Grounds crews were responsible for getting extra fuel tanks loaded on the planes if the missions called for it, and they gave the aircraft a once over before the pilot came out to do the same. Ordnance men would have to prep bombs before loading them on the planes, giving them the opportunity to send a little message of their own to the enemy.

Description
An account of the resource
This illustration is of a P-47 squadron from the Ninth Air Force in Belgium during the siege of Aachen in October of 1944. This scene was common among all Air Force groups, though how many of them had this groups' sense of humor is unknown. The briefing board reads "Pilot Poop", a witty play on words for the bombs they would be dropping on the enemy.<br />This illustration can be found in <em>The Commemorative History of the Ninth Air Force</em> book.
