As Charlie mentioned, the benefit was not dietary. :)
I think the story goes that a journo got to go for a spin with a pilot
in a [insert military jet name]. The pilot told him to eat bananas in
the morning. He wondered a lot just as to what the benefit was, thinking
maybe it was the Vitamin B or iron in it or something. He ate them, but
when he met the pilot on the morning, his curiosity had him ask what it
was in the bananas that was so important. The answer was something along
the lines of "It's the only thing that tastes the same coming up as it
does going down".
That's the gist, anyway. The story was much better as originally told by
the journo, as it obviously included the perhaps more interesting
details as to the kitting up and the actual flight. ;)
Cheers,
Marc
