Believe it or not Steve, I first heard the term from a friend’s very conservative wife. Made it even funnier. Almost pissed myself.Had to look up what 'gunts' are.
I lead such a sheltered life.

No definite body? 90% of the guys in WW2 AAF pictures have proportionally a much smaller upper body- it's a fact. My Dad was the same height as me yet he wore a 40L all his life- I'm a 44. "Big Jim" just helps prove my point by being the exception.Totally disagree on the high-waisted, baggy legs trousers, but that shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone who even remotely knows me . I swear by them, and would never go back to wearing modern regular waist/straight leg trousers, they're simply way less comfortable than the 30s/40s cut, for me. And I'm with Greg on what he said above, the guys on all the pics you shared look sharp (except maybe for the left one on the first picture, indeed).
That being said, there's no definite body for WW2 neither. Let me introduce you to "Big" Jim Streig, 5.5 victories with VF-17 during WW2:

These guys may look cool but would look pretty silly walking around like that now.This movie was more accurate in terms of fit. Pretty damn cool if you ask me:
Totally agree with @Thomas Koehle though, this whole post seems more like a rant about personal preferences than anything else.
