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

Probably intended for American troops. Brits like their beer warm.


They really don't like it warm, but they have Lucas refrigerators.
