I'm not old enough to have flown in 1940 but with all the coal burning etc it sure was not better than today. After a about 500 hours in small planes of various kind (not much compared to professional pilots but enough to have an opinion I think) I can say that the few days where you don't have a rather thick haze like in this game are really rare. It often happen during winter or early spring... A bright summer day with clear sky is often the worst actually

Sometimes you can start thinking there is a forest fire somewhere but nope, just that haze that is mostly moist from what I understand and not pollution. Then when you pass a break layer you suddenly go above that ground haze at say 10k feet and it's like going up from water into clear air. Rather weird effect... I think the current haze effect in the game nails it rather good - and it can be a lot worse IRL some days. Before this patch it looked all wrong with way to clear sky IMHO. Others will for sure punt in
