interesting article. I think it has to do with more than just altitude though. Military life in general exposes all of us to a harmful environment. Just with all the crap I breathed in from burn pits and jet fuel exposure, some form of cancer is in my future.

Edit: I guess wrong title. It concerns fighter pilots in all services.

It is sad, but utterly believable. Gads of time spent at stratospheric altitudes.

My friend who was a former U-2 pilot has had a few skin cancers removed from his face.
