In general, the British and American fighter pilots got along well; there was, however, some friction. The Yanks were, on occasion, accused of being "overpaid, overfed, oversexed, and over here." The Americans countered that the Brits were "underpaid, undersexed, and under Eisenhower." And they grumbled about the food. One American fighter pilot swore that "the British subsisted on some of the most appalling food known to man or beast. Have you ever tried biting on a kipper for breakfast? Worse still, have you had these things they call Brussels sprouts? If I ever have to crash my plane I'll make sure I do it on a Brussels sprout field."
