Default Keeping up moral; a necessary delivery.

13 June 1944: An English brewery donates a sizable amount of fresh beer
for the troops fighting in Normandy and a unique delivery method is
created, strapping kegs to the underwings of Spitfires being shipped to
forward airfields. Flying at 12 000 feet chills the brew to perfection.
