Hair grease was indeed in short supply, but working on the flight line he found the wheel bearing grease used by the spits was a good substitute.

It also served as a functional replacement for his tin hat.

Need an acetylene torch to effect a short back and sides though...ouch!

They'd use lard too: hard to keep the birds away....

Mind you, the way they're slapping on that paint, I bet that Spit is going to lose 20 knots from its top speed.
