How did the USAAF chill the Whisky in WWII?

How did the USAAF chill the Whisky in WWII, where there was no ice? In the warm countries like Sicilia, Italy, Southern France or Pacific. They loaded the Whisky in a C-47, B-17 or B-24 and flew two hours at an altitude of 7`600m at about -50 degrees, so you cooled the Whisky and after landing had cool whisky. A quote from M. Schreier who worked at Edwards Air Force Base and visited the B-17 Museum Utzenstorf with his family on October 1, 2022. It was a very exciting afternoon with many anecdotes about the time he worked at Edwards Air Force Base. Thank you very much for visiting us.
