Had you been young and kicking during WW2, would you have volunteered for the Air Corps, knowing all that you know now-that is, that you have a fairly large chance of buying the farm?

Really?  Knowing full well you'd most likely end up in the 8th Air Force as a bomber pilot or crew?

I know I would.

Cool leather jacket vs mud-caked twill vs oil-soaked khaki....maybe the khaki but certainly the leather jacket.

Of course we all would. Everyone wanted to do their part in crushing  tyrany. No one knew the horror of war, just the glamour.

I would. Chances are if you lived in that era you'd be drafted anyway. But I'd make my damnedest to make sure I end up in England. The US Air Corps guys had lots of fun with English girls(easy to get with a pair of silk stockings), while the Brits were eating sand and screwing camels in North Africa.
