Guest john Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Whilst reading a book recently on Australian Air Force Pilots during WW2 in the Pacific, the author stated that when the Pilots were granted leave from their respective squadrons the accepted terminology was titled 'INTERCOURSE LEAVE'. Not exactly knowing what this term meant, I asked an ex Navigator on Liberators during WW2 what this term meant. ( This ex Navigator is presently on his way to Melbourne to sit one more time in the Liberator being restored at Werribee before he goes to AVIATION HEAVEN) All he gave me was a POLITICIANS ANSWER & said "Use your own imagination" Not fully understanding what this term meant, is there any ex WW2 air crew still out there that can explain what this term exactly meant because the numbers of these brave men are getting pretty thin as the days go by.

facthunter Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I've flown with a lot of WW2 pilots and that description was never mentioned. Doesn't mean it wasn't tho. . R and R can mean anything, depending on how depraved you are. Deprived might be a cause. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not having got into the Air Force till twelve years after the Germans got dismissed from the War, I'm unqualified to postulate (but I will anyway) that the term would have been utilized to describe those brief periods of time when the military temporarily gave over the responsibility of 'screwing the troops' to the local female civilian population? A good friend is an ex-Lancaster crewman (93 yrs young and still going strong) so I'll attempt to get a proper answer when next we meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Our fathers used more genteel language in those bygone days. Society has changed and along with it our day-to-day vocabulary. Instead of INTERCOURSE LEAVE, I believe that the current RAAF term is F^UCKED OFF. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it was leave given to visit family, friends, etc. Now, sexual intercourse is another matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Sorry to disappoint you, but the English like to use precise words in official communications, so it was most likely totally innocent, and it's not surprising the old man was bewildered. Intercourse to the English of that time just meant "social communication between individuals" You have to add the word sexual to it to go where your minds are going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
