True or false--The RAF pilots during WW2 ate so many carrots to improve their vision they looked orangish?

Answer 1

That's very true. RAF crews in Bomber Command did that in an effort to improve their night vision. Beginning in 1944 the RAF began night bombings over Germany while the U.S. 8th Air Force handled daylight bombings.

Answer 2

It is supposed to cure vitamin A deficiency, whose symptoms can include night blindness. It won't make vision improve above or beyond correcting a vitamin A deficiency problem. Most vision problems are not vitamin A deficiency, and eating carrots won't cause any change for those. In World War II the RAF made the discovery that red light did not disrupt night vision. So using things like red googles and red lights in briefing rooms allowed their pilots' eyes to dark adapt before taking off.

Answer 4

It's not true.

It goes into the same story book as the Bilberry (http://www.paghat.com/bilberry-vision.html) myth.

Many pilots resented the fact that their sharp night vision (they were called Cat Eyed Pilots) was attributed to eating carrots.
