Interesting Fact
Until the end of World War II, flying from Europe to the U.S. was the lot of only those who had no fear. Is it any joke to spend 18 hours in the air in a leaky and unheated cabin? British aircraft stopped at Shannon Airport in Ireland for refueling and from there passengers were taken to Foynes, the port town where the terminal was located. Due to inclement weather, important people were often delayed in Shannon and Foynes. The administration, with this fact in mind, invited Joseph Sheridan, a well-known Dublin chef, to work in the airport restaurant. One rainy evening he offered black coffee, lavishly laced with whiskey, to the chilly travelers. Until that day, whiskey and diluted tea had been used to ward off the cold and autumnal weather in Ireland, but the chef decided that the frozen travelers needed something stronger. And, as time showed, he was not mistaken.
