I don’t know if it worked or not but some of the old timers would rub a little dish soap on their goggles to prevent fogging. When I crewed on a fuel altered small fresh air tanks were in use.

James R Goetz post.OK - Here's my 60 Fury 1963 prom picture. I don't know what's going on with my hair. Maybe something's behind me. It was big hair era but I had a flat top. That's really all my girlfriends hair though. I'm still with her 58 years later, married since 1968. I did almost pull off the Buddy Holly glasses though.
