There are no references provided. I suggest this article is highly fluff. Even in those benighted times, well before our present benighted times, I don’t think anyone

really thought carrots gave a noticeable advantage for night vision. The story that came down through the years and survives is about bilberry. Although I do doubt

that you can get enough of the active constituents by having bilberry jam with breakfast. Maybe some night vision effect was noticed over the years in ages past

from consumption of bilberry over time, and this knowledge entered folk wisdom. Those RAF fighter pilots were pretty young guys anyway and didn’t need all the

help with night vision that I did. I think the Germans were well aware of the British radars.
