So where did this myth come from?

　　During World War Ⅱ， the British were particularly good at shooting down Nazi bombers at night, when it's almost impossible to see other planes. It was as if they had super­human sight, and they did. They had radar.

　　Once news stories started to circulate about these pilots with seemingly super­human eyes, the government needed a good explanation to prevent the Germans from learning about this technology: Carrots.

　　Flight Lieutenant John Cunningham, nicknamed “Cats Eyes” for his incredible ability to shoot down enemy planes, had a natural love for carrots. The story wrote itself and they explained that they were feeding other pilots a lot of carrots to improve their eyesight too.
