Pilot Carrot Cunningham Soft Toy

This toy has been inspired by John “Cat’s Eyes” Cunningham, the famous night-fighter pilot of the Second World War. Not wanting to inform the enemy that RAF night-fighter aircraft had airborne radar, a legend was created to explain Cunningham's successes. It was said that from a diet of vitamin A gained from eating carrots, his eyesight was so exceptional, he could see in the dark like a domestic cat. As such, his incredible night-fighting skills were also used as a ruse to encourage Britain's children to eat more carrots!
