From Cock-Pit to the Pilots massage table. The photo series chronicles the life of a WWII pilot, starting with a gripping shot in the cockpit, capturing the intensity before a mission. It moves through pre-flight preparations, donning flight gear, and the climax of takeoff and aerial combat. After a successful mission, the series shows moments of relief, post-mission debrief, and the pilot’s reflective and recreational times. The narrative concludes with the pilot’s return to base and an unexpected, poignant image naked on a massage table having a butt massage, offering a glimpse into the human side of a war hero.
I thought this might have been a staged shoot, but I just read a history of the P-51 Mustang pilots based on Iwo Jima and those stopping over. The flight surgeon designed the “spa” and prescribed a 10-minute soak in the volcanic hot spring’s waters, followed by a massage that would relax “all parts of the body,” including, “any tension relief as requested by the pilot.” Usually prohibited, beer during the soak was added to the physician’s prescription when a new commanding officer took charge who allowed the ration. Volunteers, including Navy Seabees (construction battalion) and other pilots, would give the massages. In later personal histories these pilots said the complete body massages were the only available relief from the intensity of combat flying and living on a barren volcanic rock. The massage including sexual relief was viewed as a necessity for physical as well as mental health. Cheers for the flight surgeon! – Roger

Makes sense. Long periods sitting in cramped seats. High stress. Tension. Our forefathers forged bonds in these situations that transcended the personal to a fraternal level of trust with each other. Wants more trusting and sensitive than another man massaging your bum. Great therapy. At what point did the prudes back home make this unseemly. Secret men’s business. Let’s restore that for our sanity.
*At what point did the prudes back home make this unseemly*
Boys and men commonly swam naked in rivers and lakes ant with the advent of public pools in cities, pool sanitation became an issue.
Public pools were used by working class kids who often didn’t shower, so having them strip and swim nude was a pretty obvious choice, and accepted by everyone as normal. Female instructors, relatives, and friends moved about freely and nobody minded. Girls wore suits for modesty issues as well as sanitation, and their pools were tested to be less sanitary, in part because many avoided nude showering and showered in suits. That was the standard until the ’60’s.
In the 40’s the YMCA and municipalities offered free swimming lessons to reduce the number of drowning fatalities in communities. Some classes were mixed gender, and all wore suits. Some chapters held different sessions for boys and girls. Boys were most often nude, and sometimes girls petitioned to be allowed the same in order to have more pool time and not have to wear the suits they were issued.
As sanitation improved, that rationale weakened, but often school boards overruled objections from parents and continued to allow male nudity. The high cost of providing suits to boys was often cited.
The Federal law in 1974 (Title IX) requiring equal athletic facilities for both sexes caused problems in maintaining separate gender use without building new facilities so most communities required suits for all, with mixed swimming.
Generations growing up without ever swimming nude and being naked around others became increasingly uncomfortable about *any* nudity, and the prudes fixated imagining pedophiles lurking behind every locker door gained allies to overrule school boards argument that nude swimming builds character. Now with kids watching porn at younger and younger ages, that has become their introduction to nudity, and it is highly sexualized, which is a great loss for everyone.
