WW2 Air Craft Ice Cream Maker? : It Worked!

 DIY Ice cream in WW2🍦😋

One squadron commander, J. Hunter Reinburg, figured he could raise morale among his men if he could fix one of his F4U Corsair fighter bombers to become a high-altitude ice cream maker.

His crews cut the ends off a drop tank, created a side access panel, and strung a .50-caliber ammo can in the panel. He put canned milk and cocoa powder into the container. 

Reinburg then set off to climb into the freezing sky above 25,000 ft and come back with 5 gallons of ice cream. ❄️

Upon his return, the mixture in the tank was more like thick chocolate milk than ice cream. However, the Marines devoured it anyway!
